The 18th episode of Lamha presents the Bedros Doumanian collection from Amman, which comprises 67 paper prints, 4 glass plates, and 39 film negatives dating back to the 1930s to the 1960s. Bringing together studio portraits from Doumanian’s London Studio, in addition to family photographs, funerals, as well as shots depicting the destruction of airfields in the West Bank during the Six-Day War, this collection evokes reflection on the commemoration of both the living and the dead, and how photographic objects in and of themselves can be ruins of a time that has passed.
