Biography

Tarek Haddad is a Lebanese photographer currently residing in Arles. His work questions both the intimate and collective relationship between humans and their surroundings, from personal possessions to the natural realm.

His recent projects focus on mankind's current interaction and connection (or disconnection) with the environment. In 2017, he held his first solo exhibition titled "Vesica Piscis" at Galerie Janine Rubeiz, through which he pondered humans' quest for separation from nature. He dived deeper into the interaction and the facets of this relationship in his latest exhibition titled "The Sixth Day", which he developed during his recent art residency with "SMArt Programme" in Switzerland.
