Born in Beirut in 1978, Mounira Al Solh works with video, painting and photography. She lives between Beirut and Amsterdam, where she is currently a resident artist at the RijksaKademie. Al Solh has been working on issues related to Lebanese immigrants’ stories, as well as the Lebanese sociopolitical and religious conflicts. Her approach is not realistic but fictional, or even fantastic. While transforming dramatic situations into ironical ones, Al Solh links issues of identity with aesthetics. In the video installation As if I don’t fit there, for example, she explores her fear of ceasing to be an artist, and her doubts about her place in the art world.
