A searing, diaristic portrayal of a city and society in revolution by Magnum nominee Myriam BoulosIn her debut monograph, Myriam Boulos casts an unflinching eye on the revolution that began in Lebanon in 2019 with protests against government corruption and austerityculminating with the aftermath of the devastating Beirut port explosion of August 2020She portrays her friends and family with startling energy and intimacy, in states of pleasure and protest. Boulos renders the body in public space as a powerful motif, both visceral and vulnerable in the face of state neglect and violence. Of her approach to photography, Boulos states: Its more of a need than a choice.
I obsess about things and I dont know how to deal with these obsessions in any other way but photography. Featuring a contextual essay by noted writer Mona Eltahawy,
Whats Ours showcases Bouloss strident and urgent vision.
