Kingdom - video still
My video Kingdom (2010-2022) is part of Ways of Vanishing, the BIENALSUR video program curated by Nayla Tamraz (LBN) and Florencia Incarbone (ARG), in view at the Sursock Museum from November 25 till the 29th.
Ways of Vanishing brings together works by filmmakers from the Global South, including Latin America, Lebanon, and Turkey. In four sessions, it proposes an aesthetic exploration of the process of vanishing. This unique condition entails the passage from the visible and existence to invisibility, a change of state that projects itself in multiple directions towards a languid disintegration.
The videos and films gathered herein question the ways in which this evanescent condition can be addressed. A culture, an ecosystem, a nation, a people and even a building may vanish in a given period of time or in an instant, but there are always ways of re-emerging, transforming impermanence into an opportunity for transmutation.
