Solidere story
Beginning in the mid-1990s, hundreds of buildings in downtown Beirut were demolished, their rubble dumped in the sea in efforts to rebuild the new post-war city center.
The works displayed here derive from dozens of implosion videos recorded by aggravated former tenants who had been ousted and/or bought off to make room for the new downtown.
