Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige: Two Suns in a Sunset/Se souvenir de la lumière Published by Koenig Books.
Edited with text by Hoor Al Qasimi. Text by Philippe Azoury, Omar Berrada, José Miguel G. Cortés, Okwui Enwezor, Marta Gili, Boris Groys, Nat Muller, Anna Schneider, Brian Kuan Wood. Inspired by found objects, personal archives and poetic experiences, Lebanese artists and filmmakers Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige invent a unique way of navigating between art and film. Their documentaries, fictional films, photography, art installations, texts and performances develop narratives around stories kept secret, acting as a resistance to official history. Functioning as a guide for an exhibition traveling between Sharjah, Paris, Munich and Valencia as well as a monograph, Two Suns in a Sunset, written in the three languages of the artists—English, French and Arabic—surveys a three-decade-long collaboration, which includes the 21 works and 6 full-length films.
