‘Is It Because I Am a Dog’ Book Launch by Mounira Al Solh

‘Is It Because I Am a Dog’ by Mounira Al Solh highlights the versatility of the medium through each work and offers a comprehensive overview of Al Solh’s video production.

From Rawane’s Song, a subjective exploration of artistic identity to dinosaurs, and a cinematic narrative on drinking habits in Beirut to her more recent ‘Vrjouiligers’ which turns the process of waiting for the admission to the Dutch citizenship into a shizo-linguistic journey in language acquisition, the book portrays Al Solh’s singular and uncompromising worlds.

Each work is accompanied by a series of short descriptive synopsis reflecting its exhibition history with invited contributions by authors Chaza Charafeddine, Fadi Tofeili, Wissam Saadé, Roger Outa, Masha Refka, Mounir Khaoli, Nat Muller, Mirene Arsanios, Ghalya Saadawi and Alan Quireyns.
