Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme collaborate across a range of sound, image, text, installation and performance works. Engaging in the intersections between performativity, political imaginaries, the body and virtuality, they sample materials both existing and self-authored in the form of sound, image, text and objects, which they recast into altogether new ‘scripts’. The result is a practice that investigates the political, visceral and material possibilities of sound, image, text and site, taking the form of multimedia installations and live sound/image performances.
Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme participates in Sharjah Biennial 16 as part of Bilna'es' project curated by Adam HajYahia.
