Where do Filmmakers go? Maps the
precise locations of 17 feature
films shot in Beirut from 1975 to
1990. Taking as a departure point
Vartan Avakian's The Revenge
of Geography Heroes, Beauty
Queens and Lebanese Action
Cinema 1979-1989 A Topographic
Survey of Beirut, alongside
which it was exhibited, this
intervention explores the choices
of filming spots in a city divided
and torn between conditions of war
and simulacra of normality.

uses of spaces, between
idealization and dystopia, it also
constitutes an archeology of
images, unveiling discoloration,
grain and various alterations of
the films.
