PALESTINE INTERRUPTED: SCREENER
Palestine Interrupted is an installation of nine, short, looped videos that are arranged on separate monitors and mapped out in the shape of a circle.
The video to the right is a trailer for the work, showing the basic design and segments of each video.
I am using narratives from Palestine to disrupt narratives about Palestine. Predictable images of military, checkpoints, walls and violence are absent in my videos. Through fragmented vignettes and sensorial experience, I weave together moments that are melancholic, hopeful, mundane and anxious.
Designed to function in a traditional exhibition space, this model demonstraits how the work would function in a gallery setting.
And then there is a lyrical component to the work with the “Circles” creating a metronomic tempo while the melancholic “Harmonica” and the exciting and alive “Beatbox” harmonize together.
Palestine Interrupted has been exhibited internationally as both public and gallery installations. Each location has presented new design and audience engagement opportunities, enabling the work to be re-imagined each time.
