UNPREDICTABLE TIMES
Sirine Fattouh
Curator: Marc Bembekoff
From drawing to sculpture, and from installation to video, the work of Sirine Fattouh (born in 1980 in Beirut; lives and works in Paris and Beirut) plumbs Lebanon’s turbulent history as well as questions of gender and sexual identity.
Unpredictable Times is a four-part project about Sirine Fattouh’s relationship to Beirut, wherein the second portion—the film Behind the Shield—offers a filmic portrait of the city through the lens of an on-board camera affixed to the windshield of her car. These dashcam-like glimpses document the watershed moments in the country’s recent history: the popular revolts of October 2019, the Covid-19 lockdown, or the explosion in the port of Beirut on August 4, 2020.
From 18 November to 16 December, 2023
Opening Saturday 18 November from 2pm, with Sirine Fattouh
