Entstanden im Auftrag der Sharjah Art Foundation
The work weaves a complex and unlikely union of illusion and myth between three worlds of which the artist is concurrently a part: cinema, magic and the changing landscape of southern Lebanon.
Within his dystopian narrative, Ghossein inquires into the motivations and implications of the disappearance of a famous magician and ventriloquist whom Ghossein assisted as a child. The duo toured villages in south Lebanon, performing captivating magic tricks to bewildered children. Over the years, Chico the magician began gradually to retreat from the public sphere.
