Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige. Two Suns in a Sunset / Se souvenir de la lumière

More about the book

Inspired by found objects, personal archives and poetic experiences, Lebanese artists and filmmakers Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige invent a unique way of navigating between art and film. Their documentaries, fictional films, photography, art installations, texts and performances develop narratives around stories kept secret, acting as a resistance to official history. Functioning as a guide for an exhibition traveling between Sharjah, Paris, Munich and Valencia as well as a monograph, Two Suns in a Sunset , written in the three languages of the artists―English, French and Arabic―surveys a three-decade-long collaboration, which includes the 21 works and 6 full-length films.
