Description

Fatine-Violette Sabiri’s ‘Kiss Landing’ brings together photographs made in Montréal and Casablanca, the two cities that the artist has lived between since early childhood. The photobook is comprised of portraits, landscapes and still lives made over a 10-year period.

The book’s title, ‘Kiss Landing’, is an aviation term that describes a type of landing where the airplane’s wheels gently make contact with the ground. Despite being smooth and less turbulent for the passengers, this type of landing causes more damage to the aircraft’s wheels by burning the rubber away. The metaphor applies to Sabiri’s back and forths between her two hometowns: while landing in one city holds promises of reunion, it necessarily entails a rupture with the place that is left behind.

The portraits, landscapes and still lifes in Kiss Landing are concerned with notions of friendship, hospitality and intimacy, while constantly seeking to analyze the meaning of home.
