Nadim Asfar

The artistic approach of Nadim Asfar is strongly influenced by the numerous questions raised by the language and technique of photography.

Stemming from a background that is both experimental and theoretical, his approach is at the meeting of considerations that are visual and acoustic, poetic and aesthetic, philosophical and anthropological.

Each piece is a grid composition of a varying number of pictures Nadim Asfar shot from the balcony of his apartment in Mar Mkhayel, Beirut.

[7] He later reclaimed this work in 2018 in the form of an artist’s book, “Habiter le Jour”, focusing on the gestures, postures and stilled movements of anonymous passersby and on the passage of cars, motorcycles, trucks and other vehicles.

[11] A selection of photographs in large-scale formats were displayed at the “Where I End and You Begin” exhibition at Galerie Tanit in 2016[12] and again at the Beiteddine Palace at the occasion of its annual festival in 2018.
