Lamia Joreige

This is that woman that Heather and I saw at the Tate Modern ... 

Born in Lebanon in 1972, Lamia Joreige is a visual artist and filmmaker who lives and works in Beirut. She uses archival documents and fictitious elements to reflect on the relation  between individual stories and collective History. She explores the possibilities of  representation of the Lebanese wars and their aftermath, and Beirut, a city at the center of  her imagery. Her work is essentially on Time, the recordings of its trace and its effects on us She's basically done an exhibition called objects of war. Done a similar thing to Zineb Sadira in interviewing people and getting their stories but also showcases some personal items.

I didn't put too much stuff up but her art work is brilliant and SO annoying that SHE ISN'T FRENCH! ... maybe we can persuade Amanda otherwise? haha!
