In the evocative domain of photographic storytelling, Rami Mekdachi's soul-stirring voyage, titled "Where the Sun Keeps Shining", holds a realm unto itself. Across a span of a decade, under the tender yet ceaseless glow of summer, Rami, along with his cherished family, set forth on an odyssey that seemed to stretch as infinitely as the American roads they traversed. As one motel faded into the horizon, another emerged, each bringing with it a fresh dawn laden with promise and unexplored vistas.
The poetic heartbeat of this journey resonated profoundly with Rami’s son, Noé Mekdachi, whose keen artistic senses found harmony in the unscripted narrative of these road trips. It was Noé who meticulously curated the photographs, each a frame encapsulating the transient yet timeless moments of summer.
As Noé navigated through the archives of his father’s lens, what emerged was not just a photo collection, but a tender ode to summer, a homage to the unyielding bond of family, and a narrative that evokes a profound sense of wanderlust. The dialog between the visuals and the artwork invites one on a voyage, not just across the undulating terrains of America, but through the nuanced spectrum of human emotions and the pure, unadulterated joy of exploration.
Through the confluence of Rami's frames and Noé’s artwork, a world unfolds where the sun never sets, where the road extends into eternity, and where every moment holds within it an endless summer waiting to be discovered.
Rami Mekdachi is a photographer and film director awarded for his cinematography, art direction and vision carried by his last movie WITH. He travels the world with his family catching time, sharing dreams through his photography, his movies and his fragrance. For him a picture or a scent are just hints, a second in a full story that we have to imagine then. He founded Lola James Harper in 2013 to share his 25 years archives of pictures, scents and souvenirs. Mekdachi was born in the 70's in Beirut, Lebanon raised in Paris, France and lived a few years in Lancaster, UK and around the San Juan Islands, USA.
