Scouting for Locations – Film title: Traces of a Scream. 2013
53 Farbfotografien und Text
Yazan Khalili’s photography explores the relationship between the social and spatial elements of the built environment and the greater landscape. A film crew disappears in Sharjah while scouting locations for a film based on Ghassan Kanafani’s 1963 novel Men in the Sun. All that remains are their photographs of possible sites for the film, and a scream that was voiced in an empty, dimly lit alley. Khalili’s project attempts to find the missing through a reconstruction of their journey and the voice that lingers in the alley. Photographs, which were e-mailed to the producer without any further details, are organised on a wall in a timeline chronicling the crew’s movement through the city. While the scream is examined as evidence, no one is certain whose scream it was: that of a member of the crew or one of the many witnesses to their disappearance.
