These photographs show the Pakistani caretaker of a dilapidated cinema in the town of Khorfakkan, Sharjah. The building is his life, his love – his existence is so intricately intertwined with it, and its imminent death will close a chapter in his life’s labour. In the photographs, one can see the caretaker watching the faded screen as Sikander projects her drawings upon it, transforming the space and bringing the cinema back to life.
