"More than 600 of [Brigitte] Lacombe's images have been printed on billboards, which run for one mile on both sides of the road that leads to the Katara Cultural Village, where the film festival takes place. Lacombe says she immediately embraced the idea for the installation, which was spearheaded by designer Michael Rock at 2x4. Aside from the photo wall, approximately 100 print ads featuring Lacombe's portraits are on display throughout Doha.

'It was a life-changing proposition for me. I was able to concentrate on the long-term project and do what I do, and with great support.'"
