press release

WIELS presents the first major exhibition in Belgium by Akram Zaatari (born in 1966 in Sidon, lives and works in Beirut), who has emerged as one of the most prominent commentators on photography and the war in the Middle East. Zaatari's practice is closely tied to the practice of collecting and excavation: Through books, photographic installations, and videos, Zaatari's visual studies reflect on the shifting nature of borders and the production and circulation of images in the political context of the region. Coordination: Dirk Snauwaert
