Hussein Nassereddine
Hussein Nassereddine is a multidisciplinary artist living and working between Beirut and Paris. His work in installation, writing, video and performance originates from a practice around language that builds fragile monuments—some verbal, some sonic, some tactile—rooted in collective histories and resources of poetry, ruins, construction and image-making.

The book begins with one single verse of poetry on "Abdallāh - The Slain" (Abdallāh al Qateel), a poet who was killed by the last thing he saw: the columns of the castle as palm trees. The rest of the book is footnotes on each word in this verse, and on the works of this poet, who only exists on the margins of the arabic literary canon.
