AKRAM ZAATARI: three snapshots and a long exposure 

Sfeir-Semler Gallery is happy to inaugurate its extended ground floor space with a solo show by Akram Zaatari, whose exhibitions we have been presenting since 2005 in both our Beirut and Hamburg galleries.

three snapshots and a long exposure takes the plasticity attributed to photography in the digital era as a common feature among works that engage with the reconfiguration of photographic documents. The migration of elements from one photograph to another, their occasional withdrawal, their contamination of one another or their physical recreation, after their vanishing, as objects based on their photographic or textual descriptions, constitute the palette that was used while making the different works in this exhibition.
