Description : Earth of Endless Secrets refers to Zaatari's ongoing research project, unearthing and examining a wide range of documents that testify to the current cultural and political conditions of Lebanon. Zaatari's artistic practice involves the study and investigation of the way these documents straggle, conflate, or confuse notions of history and memory. By re-contextualizing audiotapes, videos, photographs, journals, personal collections of artifacts, objects and interviews, Zaatari explores the "dynamics that govern the state of image-making in situations of war", more precisely in territories subject to military invasions and withdrawals. With an almost archeological eye, he reveals the intimate layers of history contained in records of everyday experience.
