Summary
Ziad Antar experiments with forms, colours, and light using his lensless camera, during a long journey searching for the cities where mythology was born. At the core of his work is the questioning of the foundations of photography, through the destruction of this art. Ziad Antar began working on this project in 2010, inspired by the work of Lebanese historian Kamal Salibi on the origins of the Bible, which guided Ziad Antar's many visits to the Arabian Peninsula, and the region of Asir specifically. 'After Images' is neither about documenting nor about proving Salibi's theories. Instead, this work looks into the nature of the myth as a possible historical narrative.
