When the fall of the dictionary leaves all words lying in the streets (Part 3). 2015
Four-channel video installation
This part is commission by Sharjah Art Foundation
Part of The Incidental Insurgents (Parts 1–3) (2012–15), a three-part installation that spatialises a contemporary search for a new political language and imaginary. The project positions the ‘incidental insurgent’ as both a foil for present deficiencies and a protagonist in the pursuit of new formations of self-determination.
When the fall of the dictionary leaves all words lying in the streets (Part 3) (2015), commissioned for SB12, comprises a four-channel video installation driven by an experimental audio track. Perhaps giving palpable form to the potential of the incidental insurgent in its myriad manifestations, Part 3 draws from reality, imagination and memory to move toward a direction that cannot be seen but feels possible.
