Publication of the Madani Project initiated by Akram Zaatari and the Arab Image Foundation published at the occasion of the exihibition 'Hashem El Madani: Studio Practices and Promenades' in Barcelona, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and Salamanca.
'The Madani Project takes shape as a series of thematic exhibitions, publications and videos centered on Hashem El Madani and his archive.
This second publication of Madani's work introduces photography in the public space. Hashem el Madani: Promenades is an exploration of photography's ties to urban spaces, particularly in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, at a time when lightweight cameras enabled itinerant photographers to offer their services to people in places of promenade. This book mainly focuses on two locations: the green fields around the train track in Ain El Helweh, South-East end of Saida, and the fishermen's port during Bahr El Eid festivities held for El Adha and El Fitr holidays.' - from back cover.
Includes artist biography and an interview with the artist by Akram Zaatari.
