One Day in Beirut is a public exhibition representing the perspectives of more than 100 photographers on 12 themes. All the photographs were taken in the city of Beirut on September 27, 2014, between 10 am and 10 pm, during the second edition of the Beirut Photo Marathon.

The Beirut Photo Marathon is the first collective documentation project of its kind in Lebanon, organized by FRAME. 

Photographers were free to choose the location of their photos within the administrative boundaries of Beirut, capturing one image for each theme and submitting it to the FRAME team at checkpoints around the city.

The collection of photos represents a day in the life of Beirut; a photographic dissection of our surroundings and perceptions, captured spontaneously. The collection is a truthful reflection of the city in its many forms, with the hope that others will observe this richness and diversity as well. With this in mind, the collection is meant to be viewed as a whole; a collaborative work of art, piecing together and revealing an ever-changing city through the lenses of 100 image-makers. 

Look for patterns, similarities and contradictions. These photos tell our story; a story of one day in Beirut, where it is up to you to decide what is worth looking at and what we have the right to observe.

The exhibition runs until 4 June.
