‘One Day in Beirut’ at The Beirut Spring Festival 2015

The Beirut Spring Festival, created and launched in 2009 by the Samir Kassir Foundation, is inspired by the title of one of the last articles written by Samir Kassir, shortly before his assassination in 2005.

One Day in Beirut is a public exhibit representing the perspectives of more than 100 photographers on 12 themes. All of the photos were captured in the city of Beirut on September 27, 2014 during the second edition of the Beirut Photo Marathon.

The Beirut Photo Marathon is the first of its kind collective documentation project in Lebanon organized by Frame.

Photographers were free to choose the location of their photos within the administrative boundaries of Beirut and captured one picture for every theme, which they submitted to the FRAME team at checkpoints across the city.

The collection of photos depicts a day in the life of Beirut; a photographic dissection of our surroundings and perceptions captured spontaneously. The collection is a truthful reflection of the city in its many forms with the hope that others will observe this richness and diversity as well. In that spirit, the collection is meant to be seen as a whole; a co-created artwork piecing together and laying bare an ever-changing city through the lenses of 100 image-makers.
