Power! Photos! Freedom!

Centre national de l'audiovisuel, Dudelange

A dialogue between the considerable collection of Libyan photos gathered by Human Rights Watch, including images of Colonel Kadhafi throughout his regime, and artistic contributions dedicated to Syria, Egypt and Tunisia by Issa Touma (SY), Nicolas Righetti (CH), Florian Gottke (OF), Nermine Hammam ( EG), Joachim Ben Yakoub ( BE), Marco Bohr (DE), Sophia Baraket and Hela Ammar (TN), Hamideddine Bouali ( TN), as well as throughout Mosireen (EG), journalistic civil group and Uprising of Women of the Arab World, activist group on Facebook. It presents a dozen photographic projects on Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and Libya. We see a region that has undergone tumultuous change in the past decade through the eyes of both insiders and outsiders. It would seem that photography is never innocent. What was the actual situation? Who was photographed? Why was this particular picture chosen? And in what context was the photograph distributed? The road paved by a single image is one of constant validation and reversal of meaning. (Image: Press, from The Unfolding Series, 2012 printed on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Rice Paper, 25 x 19 cm.
