Description

This piece is the chronological discovery of the Sanctuary of Ain Hersha in Lebanon, representing different aspects of the landscape. “I had never been here. I have the feeling I came here to photograph an event that would never happen again. When I think the mountain becomes red like that every day... And that it has always turned red...” (Nadim Asfar)

The work is part of Experiencing the Mountain (2015-ongoing), “an expansive photographic series of the mountainous Lebanese countryside that conveys the meticulousness and of an ambulant land surveyor. With Territorial Waters (2015) as its prologue, Experiencing The Mountain marks a departure or new direction in the artist’s work, from an engagement with the technical potentialities of the photographic apparatus as such, to a more thematic engagement with historical mediums and traditions, such as landscape.”(Hisham Awad)
