BEIRUT MON AMOUR

I leave Athens for Beirut on Thursday, 12 November. The fingers of the Peloponnese unfold and seem to touch the coast of Lebanon. A flight that lasts less than an hour makes me realize how close the edge of Europe is to the Gaza Strip. Syria is there, just behind the chain of the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. If water, rather than earth, were the geographic unit, the Mediterranean would be a new liquid territory capable of undoing the political and linguistic borders of Europe, Asia and Africa. The White Sea, as the Turks call it, as opposed to the Black Sea and the ‘Red Sea’, connected to Alexandria, Tripoli, Oran, Marseille, Rijeka, Lesbos, Palermo, Athens, Beirut… what has been represented as far away is becoming close.
