FROM IDIOM
THE STORYTELLER AT ICI
by Sarah StephensonTwo further artists investigate the combination of the mundane and the communal during a time of war. In Lamia Joreige's piece Objects of War from 2006, interviewees discuss an object which represented their personal experience of the Lebanese War, in many cases something as simple as a radio or a key. Brought together, these items detail the shared experiences of many through the everyday. Daily life is also the focal point of Steve Mumford's twelve watercolor sketches; in one, Mumford captures "Iraqi contractors waiting to be paid on a Friday morning FOB Thunder, March 2004" while another depicts street trading as usual.
