Fadia Ahmad in conversation with Mounir Hafi - November 2020

Fadia Ahmad was born in 1975 in Alicante, Spain. She returns to Lebanon in 1991, and undertakes studies at IESAV, Saint Joseph University of Beirut. She has produced several series on Beirut and on refugee camps, as well as on the theme of travelling in Africa and Asia. She has been walking her city daily since 2003 along a 10,452-meter route, a sample of territory related to the surface area of Lebanon: 10,452 square meters. Neighborhood after neighborhood, house after house, Fadia explores the city like Léon-Paul Fargue’s Le Piéton de Paris. Capturing street-corner vendors and grocers, parking-lot attendants, fishermen, bather and street artists, past and future constructions but also buildings in a state of collapse, Fadia Ahmad expresses the complex cohabitations in the world of today. Her photographs, conceived like paintings, are images of Beirut, of partition, of difference, of her feelings. They are fragments of a life just as they are fragments of a city .
