Introduction to Fouad Elkoury: Preserving Time

This event is part of our Past Programme

Join Print Sales Gallery’s Deputy Director, Lucie Donaldson, and to find out more about Fouad Elkoury’s exhibition, Preserving Time. 

This event is part of the Art After Dark

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.

If my images just show the event happening in front of me, the meaning of it will die when the event dies. For my pictures to be preserved in time, they had to be more symbolic
