| Choice of Work | Title of Work | |
|
THE GROUND IS MOVING (2010) HD 10' - People traverse from light to dark. They become figures appearing or disappearing from the depth of an undefined black space behind façades. |
||
|
COME ON INTO THE CONTINENTS (2009) HDV 5:50 - Outside of Luxor the eye moves in a slow circle. People are standing in the desert, alone or in groups. Tourists descend from the sky in a large red balloon. |
||
|
TIGER (2008) HDV 1'30’’ – Two parallel images show a woman in relation with an exhibited object. An attempt to catch some of the essence of ‘being alive’. |
||
|
KARTA (2008) HDV 11' - Two men cross a former hospital. We are following one man until he comes across the other. Their meetings vary from distant and casual to friendly and intimate, while the building is falling apart. |
||
|
TAXILA (2007) DV 9’ - The camera is overlooking an ordinary day in Taxila’s life. |
||
|
CAIRO (2006) DV 12' - A young man is walking very slowly. He gets nine different faces and his movement extends over a whole set of Cairo districts. There are sudden changes from noisy traffic to silence. He comes across several isolated people. |
||
|
STILL SEEING DISAPPEARED THE SAILORS (2005) DV 9’20’’ - The video shows a group of men, gathered in the hall of a public building. The men speak, laugh and observe. The rules of social behavior are disrupted by unexpected dynamics and gestures. |
