The Eighth Day: God Created the World in Seven Days. This is The Eighth Day |
|
| Authors: | Tony Chakar |
| Abstract: | Beirut-born architect and writer Tony Chakar describes how the July 2006 Israeli attacks on Beirut prompted memories of the Lebanese War and provided the essential catalyst for producing his work The Eighth Day. Careful not to stipulate prescribed meanings, Chakar delivers the series of images as a lecture that provide luminosity in ‘the space of catastrophe’ where ‘language is undone’.
