From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf. 2009-2013
Video (80 Min.)
Four years ago, CAMP became interested in the boats and sailors in Sharjah, most of whom are from Gujarat in India, Southern Iran and Pakistan. In 2009, their research resulted in two related works, Wharfage and Radio Meena, which were featured at the Sharjah Biennial that year. Now, in 2013, the boats dock on the other side of Sharjah Creek; residents can view the boats, but perhaps they cannot understand them in the same way. This new work for Sharjah Biennial 11 draws from four years of dialogue, friendship and video exchange with sailors. Through the medium of a feature-length film, different experiences and encounters at sea (and on adjacent land) are not so much tied together as allowed to speak. The Biennial’s screening venue is also a site for further exchange: cell-phone videos and audio will be transmitted between sailors, traders and others over the three-month period of the exhibition.
