+ Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige

Since the war years, when he was often short of products, fixatives and most of all paper, he stopped developing his films, being content with taking the pictures. The rolls piled up, he felt no need to reveal them. Even today, although the situation has improved, he still does the same.
If he does not develop the rolls, he nevertheless documents each photograph he takes in a small notebook. He describes it minutely. His pictures can therefore be read, giving free rein to the reader’s imagination.
