33° 50′ N, 35° 50′ E – a Panographic Journey by Melkan Bassil – Welcome to Libania

Welcome to Libania is an invitation to a journey in a déjà-vu land, with a fresh look and a new emotion.

Imagine a galaxy made of small and vulnerable planets. Photographed, these planets do not unveil anything beyond their beauty, and each one represents a place from Lebanon. They are charged with a curious emotion that urges us to react, rediscover the place, love it, take care of it a bit like old-world explorers who were attracted by the mystery laying behind mountains and horizons.

This photographic fiction is totally new. It gets us to rethink our connection with these mini-words that carry in each one the history, the soul and the life of Libania.

Step into a unique planetographic photo exhibition, in a quest to explore a new visual perspective of Lebanon. The event will showcase original prints and some exclusive new planets.

Special Formula:“With my Little Planets Project, I aim to propose an alternative composition of our environment. By creating a planet from a single point of view, 33° 50’ N, 35° 50’ E promotes a more locally focused approach to our world: it stimulates in me a positive emotional reaction and paradoxically a better visual understanding of my surroundings”
