Nathalie Harb was born in Beirut in 1977. She graduated with a MA in film directing in from Alba, the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts, and went on to gain a second MA in scenography at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London in 2004, where she had begun working with multi-media installation, video and photography. Her first solo exhibition took place in 2005, at the Hangar of Umam DR, center of archive and research in Beirut. The work presented, Rue du Mot Perdu, was an installation/performance recreating a street in scale of Beirut through videos, models and live performance. Growing up in a palimpsest city, her work explores the layers between present and memories. She has since shown her work at Artissima 2005, at Francesco Pantaleone Arte Contemporanea in Palermo, and at the Lethaby Gallery in London in 2006. She now lives and works in London.

Nathalie's latest work was in july 2008 at the ICA (UK) where she created a multimedia installation that evolved from ideas of their home cities, London and Beirut, and communicates an uneasiness with the concept of home and its fragility. A storage space is created with packed boxes and furniture left, either forgotten or ready to be moved, by a central character. The exhibition will move to Beirut in November 2008, where the artists will build on its content and present the second stage of the work at The Hangar of Umam DR.
