My oeuvre consists mainly of short films and video installations that study the notion of time in all variations and subsets. My work discusses the passage of time concerning historical incidents, human tragedies, and catastrophes from the standpoint of the witnesses or victims, reflecting on their observations, recollections, and memories; questioning, doubting, and reconstructing the events. Their narratives are, therefore, tangible, untainted, and highly personal. Today more than ever, our perception and observation of the world depend on the short headlines that we absorb without enough attention or affection. Oral history, in this regard, becomes a significant source, presenting not only an actual incident but a story to which one can connect, a story often therapeutic, both for the teller and the listener.










Poetry of People
Poetry plays a major role in societies in West Asia and North Africa. Across social classes, national boundaries and languages, poems are known and recited by heart by millions of people. The new exhibition Poetry of the People highlights influential poems from these regions. The exhibition shows how poetry can influence people's lives both on an individual and collective level.
