“And so our need for a new consciousness at those terrifying frontiers where the existence and disappearance of people fade into each other” - Edward Said After the Last Sky.
Fragments from Edward Said’s most personal and poetic work After the Last Sky are repurposed to create a new script that reflects on what it means now to be constructed as an ‘illegal’ person, body or entity.
The script is turned into a song sung and performed by the artists as multiple avatars. Using a software that generates avatars from a single image the avatars in the video are all drawn from people who participated in the ‘March of Return’, that continue to take place on the seamline in Gaza, an area that has been under physical siege by the Israeli army since 2006.
Please join us for the opening night of this exhibition: 6pm to 9pm, Friday the 23rd of January
