Observational Desire on a Memory That Remains

Storyline

The work is an attempt to create an imaginary archive of a group exhibition that took place in Jerusalem, ¬1985 ­ ¬at Al-Hakawati theater hall ­. ¬since there is no archive in Palestine ­, ¬the work is based on immaterial references to construct its narrative ­, ¬such ­ ¬as oral history and storytelling ­, ¬interviewing people who were part of this event or who knew any information related to it ­. ¬ The one channel video investigates the photograph as well as the artists that appear in it, and through the biography of one of ­ ¬these artists, ¬a narrative of the Palestinian art of that period is constructed. ¬The video questions the possibility of representing an event when the archive is immaterial ­, ¬and how collective memory becomes the storage of this imagined archive ­. ¬
