Italian photographer Giulio Rimondi's collection of works, "Beirut Nocturne". Born in Italy in 1984, Rimondi studied classics and literature at university, and contributed to numerous magazines such as The New York Times, CNN, Le Monde, and National Geographic as a photojournalist. At the same time, he has also been active in serious and creative photography, producing a number of works that focus on humanity and explore Italian and Mediterranean identity. This work is composed of black and white photographs taken in Beirut, Lebanon, a city in the Middle East facing the Mediterranean Sea, depicting the people and lives of those who live with the traces and memories of war. The melancholic images are interwoven with poems by Lebanese poet Christian Ghazi. The following is from the afterword by Ferdinando Scianna, the master of Magnum Photos: "The night of Beirut has no prostitutes, no neon lights, no parties, no staging, no rehearsals, it is occupied by one man and one woman. The overflowing black becomes silence."
