Paola Yacoub’s works from the 90s are central to the understanding of the post-civil war Lebanese contemporary art landscape. The works presented were produced between 1993 and 1994. They involve the phase changes of liquids, in particular the transition from the liquid state to the solid state. Aquatic forms are too fleeting to be captured by the eye. They cannot be drawn. Photography allows us to capture them. By solidifying, liquid wax, by analogy with water, freezes the movements that animate it. Here, it is the liquid that gives shape to the solids. Images of cities and elastic bands are immersed in the liquid wax, which mobilized their plasticity. These transmutations from liquids to solids also engage a different perception of architecture. Here, photographs of buildings by Le Corbusier and others are drowned in liquid wax. In this way, new volumes are created through these processes of morphogenesis.
