José NICOLAS (1956)
Refugees in a parking lot, Beirut, 1982
Silver print
On back, signed, titled, dated and numbered 1/8
Dimensions: 30 x 40 cm
Note : Photograph taken in Beirut during the Lebanese war, showing refugees in a parking lot transformed into a shelter.
José Nicolas composes a scene structured by pillars and openings, which compartmentalize the space and reinforce the impression of confinement. The scattered silhouettes, moving children and blurred effects convey precariousness and instability, while the black-and-white color scheme accentuates the documentary and human dimension of the situation.
