Laetitia Hakim and Tarek Haddad are Lebanese photographers whose joint practice is based on complementarity, duality, playfulness, and materiality. Their works stem from an ongoing conversation revolving around the actuality that marks them and the spaces they interact with and inhabit. They tackle notions such as forced separation, the perpetuity of loss, and the dynamics of social interactions, primarily dealing with Lebanon's contemporaneity and the events that have been occurring since the October 2019 revolution. Their approach consists of stepping back, reflecting, and then responding to the events in question.
