English: If you think religion and politics are a reality that cannot be avoided in Lebanon, think again… This book is about neither religion nor politics. It’s about the individuals with whom we cross paths. It’s about those whose lives and stories we sometimes like to wonder about. Stories of human interest – that we can relate to – are revealed through these photographs; and through the human aspect of these images, we catch a glimpse of a whole country, outside the frame of what we think we know. Photographs, landscapes, portraits, stories, comic strips, are all a Hyphen between two religions often described as opposed.

Français: Si vous êtes de ceux qui croient que la religion et la politique sont incontournables au Liban… vous serez décus. Trait d’union Islam-Christianisme ne traite ni de politique ni de religion. Il s’agit de l’humain tout simplement. Celui que l’on croise et dont on se plait souvent à imaginer la vie ou l’histoire. A travers la photo, l’humain se révèle à l’humain, et à travers lui, tout un pays se laisse deviner… hors des sentiers battus. Photos, paysages, portraits, histoires, bandes dessinées forment ce trait d’union entre ces deux religions souvent décrites de manière contradictoire.
