April 12 – May 8, 1985
Looking back through the 1980’s I saw that, although it’s not my only interest, I kept a lot of my focus on traces, scars, and so on. The first time you can see that is in my Beirut work from 1982 about modern architecture in ruins. But I didn’t then make a decision to have that theme as my statement as an artist, nor even that I would keep exploring it. It’s only by looking at one project after another that you can see the way in which I kept going in the same direction.
