		<description><![CDATA[The focus of my photography is the Middle East, on women and children especially. Lebanon in particular is interesting because of its key location as a gate to the Middle East, between the West and the Arab world. I grew up and lived in both Lebanon and the U.S. I am a Lebanese insider who speaks the language, knows the country, and understands its people, but also an outsider who can see Lebanon and its complexities through Western eyes, who can still be intrigued by the dichotomies that are shocking to the Westerner, but unnoticed by the locals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Turn Right is a term lifted from military vocabulary, and hence a priori it is no wonder that I would choose it as a title for my photo series on Palestinian soldiers. My soldiers, however, are not shown marching or parading. Most of them are not moving at all in front of the camera. Their very stillness reveals the complex resonance of the title which, depending on how one reads the two constituent words, can be taken to mean very different things: a command to turn right, a right or correct change of direction, or the right to change direction. Faced with the simple command: Right Turn!, every soldier and, generally, every human being, would pause for thought, even if just for a microsecond, before reacting. The response, if it leads to an observable external action, would not, however, reveal anything about the inner state of mind. Indeed, in view of the complexities of today’s socio-political environment and of individual histories, what would be the right turn to take? Should one turn to the right, turn around in circles, turn back, or turn away?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[The architect] Salomone's work is a monumental and wonderfully creative expression of a style in which Art Deco and Rationalism merge. In my view, and analyzing it from the perspective given by the current situation, his task as official architect shows the failure of a country's project. Although Fresco's management was quite successful, behind his ambitious urban program, the failure of the rich agricultural and farming Argentina utopia became apparent once again. And this failure broadens the gap between that fiction we still believe in, and the reality we are not yet determined to accept.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The images that Abbas Kiraostami presents of empty rainy roads sweeping past fields and trees are devoid of characters. They seem like empty sets which the great director is about to populate with actors. However, for Kiarostami, roads and  trees are artists, interlocutors and companions. "From my very first photos, taken when I first picked up a camera, I realised that trees had more significance for me than human beings," he says. "I have always quoted Ibn Arabi, who says that "the tree is my sister."]]></description>
