Architecture-trained photographer Dia Mrad’s first solo show, ‘The Road to Reframe’, captures local architecture after the Beirut explosion of 2020, in terrible, dramatic, ‘surrealist�...
The show presents two series of photographs. ‘The Silos Experience’ was shot in and around the grain silos of the port of Beirut, ground zero of the blast of 4 August 2020, and it contains 28 shots taken in March 2021. The second series, ‘The Morning After’ was created on 5 August 2020 and comprises 11 pieces. The body of work tells the story of Mrad’s personal experience, depicting with mesmerising, dramatic and terrible stillness the destructive, ‘surrealist’ impact of the event.
In March 2019, on a family trip to France and Italy, as I was capturing images of the magnificent French and Italian architecture, I kept thinking of Beirut, reflecting on the rough diamond that’s there, but not quite there. Beirut, a city that has an equally, if not more, interesting and rich architecture as Europe. It triggered a series of questions that has led to my intimate relationship with Beirut and the way in which I photograph.
