Preserving Time is the first exhibition in the Print Sales Gallery of work by acclaimed Lebanese photographer and filmmaker Fouad Elkoury (b. France, 1952.) 

Elkoury's photographic work portrays the turbulent past of the Middle East as well as daily life in the present. His work captures the devastation and chaos of conflict, alongside the mundanity of daily life, resilience, and moments of joy.

Elkoury currently lives between Paris, where he was born, and Beirut where he spent his formative years. In the late seventies Elkoury studied architecture in London, and although he turned to photography soon after graduating, an affinity for liminal space and appreciation for the architectural fabric of a city is evident throughout his powerful images.

Elkoury's distinctive approach boldly departs from traditional photojournalistic techniques in order to represent and reflect on the quieter realities of everyday life in the spectre of conflict. His images are marked by a defiantly poetic sensibility and a deep appreciation for the resilience of people and the landscapes affected.
