Muhammad, Khalil, and Shireen Hawari. Originally from Haifa (formerly Palestine), living in Beirut (Lebanon) -Muhammad Hawari had a young family when he fled his native Haifa. He eventually ended up in Beirut. In 1957, he was able to obtain Lebanese nationality, unusually for a Palestinian refugee. Like many of his fellow exiles, Muhammad found work in the oil industry. He worked for BP in Yemen, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. His children have settled in Lebanon. Shireen, his granddaughter, was born there in 1984. She is a graduate of the Lebanese American University in Beirut and now works for an architectural firm. Muhammad Hawari appears here with Shireen and his son Khalil. Photography Alan Gignoux

In Homeland Lost: The Palestinians, Alan Gignoux juxtaposes portraits of Palestinian refugees with photographs of their former homes or villages in what is today Israel. The photographs for Homeland Lost were taken from 2003 to 2005 and featured in solo and group exhibitions internationally from 2006 to 2011. Homeland Lost was produced with funding from the British Council in East Jerusalem. A Middle East tour was made possible by the AM Qattan Foundation.

Sunday come and take a look at our photobook ‘The Powers That Be’ political campaign posters from the Polish 2023 parliamentary elections, combined with Coal Mining work from Poland. The Powers That Be photobook contemplates the links between electioneering and political outcomes.

Whilst travelling around Poland researching coal mining Alan Gignoux and Chloe Juno were struck by the faces of politicians beaming at them from colourful political banners wherever they went. They used some Fuji Instax Wide Film left over from another trip to document the banners, zooming in on the features of these potential changemakers. The resulting image series investigates the peculiar visual language of political advertising. In The Powers That Be, these are set against photographs documenting Polish coal mines, whose future would be determined by the results of the election.

Throughout The Powers That Be photobook, the Instax banner images are presented full bleed to dramatize close-ups of isolated features from the politicians’ faces, such as eyes and lips, and to emphasize the fleshiness of the oversized portraits. These are interspersed with the coal mine images, photographed by Gignoux using a 35mm digital camera. On each of the coal mine photographs the designer has superimposed a cut-out of one of the Instax political banner images with the white border intact, creating jarring juxtapositions.

Fortune Teller Game
At the end of the book, tucked into a glassine pocket, there is a ‘fortune teller’ game printed with politicians’ features. Play the game and you will be ‘rewarded’ with different political outcomes.

The Library Project in Dublin has always been so supportive of Gignouxphotos projects, stocking our books, and now they have our postcards.

The Library Project

The Urals was formerly at the heart of the soviet military-industrial complex. When Alan Gignoux visited some of the region's single-industry cities in 2009, he encountered familiar "rust belt" problems such as failing industries, abandoned factories, outdated, and dilapidated industrial equipment,....
