Ramallah Syndrome. 2009
Multichannel sound installation
(On the photo: entrance to the room)
Sandi Hilal & Alessandro Petti in conversation with Nasser Abourahme, Yazeed Anani, Laura Ribeiro, Reem Fadda, Omar Jabary-Salamanca, Yazan Khalili. Sound Sytem by Aswatt (Basel Abbas) and Ruanne Abourahme.
For this exhibit, the artists use a sound installation to activate an almost non-exiting community discourse on the colonialist socio-spatial reconfiguration of urban centers. Their project examines the effects of the new spatial and social order that emerged after the collapse of the Oslo ‘peace process’, manifested in a kind of ‘hallucination of normality’, the delusion of a co-existence of occupation and freedom in Ramallah.
