lament 1+2

Exposing and questioning the space between the audience and the performers, the individual and the community, the private within the public.

lament 1+2 is an installation for video and a grid of wooden chairs, with each chair electronically triggered so that it's wood resonates, turning the chair into a speaker, and a separate channel of audio. As each audience member sits next to an empty chair that ‘speaks and sings’, they watch another audience on screen sit in similar chairs, watching them, associating each person on screen with a chair in the space.

Maqamat (2017), recordings of Jewish Iraqi musicians form the basis of an immersive audiovisual piece that reflects on the psychology of diaspora and longing.

Shomer (2019) deconstructs the architecture of the Magen Avraham Synagogue in Beirut, using it as a lens to examine memory, authenticity, and preservation.
