Throughout his career, Marwan Rechmaoui has focused on mapping urban spaces, but in these works he concentrates on Palestinian camps in Lebanon. The series grows out of a project initiated by the Arab Resource Collective, an NGO working within the Palestinian camps, to create a "virtual Palestine" by linking the various communities living in five refugee camps around Lebanon: Shatila, Rashidiyyi, Nahr el Bared, Shabriha and Ain el Helwi. The group asked camp residents to map their local surroundings. The results give a powerful sense of the camps’ day-to-day reality, while also reflecting personal interests. Rechmaoui took these maps and reproduced them in concrete, rice and sugar bags, and corrugated metal – all materials that are hard to come by in the camps.
