Taking place in the Quartier de Arts de Saifi – Beirut, the photo exhibition 33° 50’ N, 35° 50’ E invites you to a unique contemplation of Lebanon, presented as a visual galaxie of little lebanese planets.

“With my Little Planets Project, I aim to propose an alternative composition of our environment. By creating a planet from a single point of view, 33° 50’ N, 35° 50’ E promotes a more locally focused approach to our World: it stimulates in me a positive emotional reaction and paradoxically a better visual understanding of my surroundings. ” – Melkan Bassil
