«Watching Music» is an intimate invitation to experience a world where melodies come alive in monochrome, where every frame is a story, and for Lili Mekdachi and Rami Mekdachi music is not just heard, it’s seen, felt, and immortalized. Over the past decade, they have journeyed together, lenses in tow, capturing the very essence of music — from the raw rehearsals in dimly lit rooms to the electric energy of live concerts. The cities of London, Paris and Los Angeles have played their roles as backdrops to these poignant black and white snapshots. While these metropolises thrum with their own unique rhythm, it’s the universality of music and its binding force that the Mekdachis have encapsulated.

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.
