Orientations

The camera follows a hand carefully carrying a glass filled with ink through the streets of Tunis.

The camera follows a hand carefully carrying a glass filled with ink through the streets of Tunis. We hear the sounds of traffic, but all we see are the hand, the spilling ink and the uneven pavement. Every now and then, the glass is slowly lowered to the ground, and the camera zooms in to capture the view above as reflected in the ink: a billowing flag, a bare tree, a colourful billboard. Through this simple optical device, our view of the city is expanded, and yet we can only see fragments. 2013 This project was part of Sharjah Biennial 11
