The Running Horse

Gebran's work is impregnated by cities and architectural structures. She explores derelict spaces, that used to be hubs of activity and human life. Previous projects include photographs of run-down train stations in Lebanon, as well as deserted factories in Lebanon. Her work recreates a new perspective to these places, giving these framed spaces a life of their own with a cinematographic quality.

Clara Gebran is currently living and working between Dubai, UAE, and Beirut, Lebanon.
