This is a striking collection of images exploring the seldom-seen side of Beirut, from the blossoming Italian photographer Giulio Rimondi. For many years now it has been hard to tell the story of Beirut without lapsing into cliches. Giulio Rimondi, a young Italian photographer living and working there, has managed to circumvent that risk. His images, accompanied by the verse of respected poet Christian Ghazi, evoke an atmosphere of intimacy and solitude that is haunted by the memory of war. There is hardly a trace here of the Beirut of popular misconception, instead Rimondi's photographs reveal a nocturnal, silent city, where people living at the margins are illuminated for both an instant and forever.
