Gilbert Hage

In 2004, he introduced Ici et Maintenant (Here and now), an encyclopedia like collection of large scale portraits of Lebanese citizens aged 18–30, all posing in the same position and looking directly at the camera. Gilbert Hage took advantage of cell phones cameras to take shots of women’s cleavage in his series Phone[Ethics] that was part of the 2011 Rencontres d'Arles. In the Aftermath of the 2006 Lebanon War, Hage documented buildings in Beirut's southern suburbs that were bombed, in a frontal and monumental framing. In 2009, Gilbert Hage produced a series of Eleven Views of Mount Ararat. Referring to Hokusai’s Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, the photos depict representations of the famous mountains in homes of the Armenian community in Lebanon. In 2018, Gibert Hage was selected to be part of The Place That Remains, the first national Pavilion of Lebanon curated by Hala Younes at the Venice Biennale of Architecture
