Fouad Elkoury’s black and white images of Beirut explore the culture and day to day struggles of people trying to make a life in this devastated, war-torn city. Tense and haunting, Elkoury’s images were collected and published in Liban Provisoire, the 2nd book in his trilogy on the Middle East. In 1996 Elkoury published Palestine, l’envers du miroir and Suite Egyptienne followed in 1998. Born in Paris of Lebanese parents, his perspective on Beirut is personal and intimate. He has worked as a journalist throughout the Middle East and is currently working on a project in Turkey.
