"The Egyptian uprising of 2011 is everyone's business. It embodies an energy and a will to change that gives hope. By reactivating this historical fact in the present, we want to show how, in a certain place and at a certain time, civil society can disobey to defend ideals. The Arab revolutions generated emotionally powerful images, whose impact transcends national borders. The one retained by Libération accentuates the historical aspect of the event. We have reworked it with a process developed in our project Wonder Beirut, conducted from 1997 to 2006. We then intervened on a series of old postcards from Beirut that we partially burned and attributed to a fictitious arsonist photographer, Abdallah Farah. Our aim was to question the representation of the writing of history and war, by inscribing the Lebanese conflict at the heart of the ideal vision produced by tourist imagery. Here, we also wished to reactivate in the present the front page of LibérationThis is the first time that we have been able to bring the poetic dimension inherent to this revolution, but also to echo what we are experiencing today. We took a slide from the front cover and then burned part of the image. This gesture questions the way in which violence transforms and affects representation and the image itself. The silhouettes stand out, the context fades away questioning the embodiment of other commitments, other struggles, elsewhere on the globe. Today, territories are intermingled, making fragmented and binary reasoning obsolete: we realize that what happens elsewhere has direct repercussions here... We chose this one because it questions everyone about current dysfunctions. As artists, we work on a very different temporality from that of the media. We do not postpone, we do not inform. Our work attempts a displacement of the glance, to allow other forms of apprehensions of our present. Because it is urgent to rethink the complexity of the world, to disobey, to rise up."
