The Last Song, Video Installation , 2024.
For private screening please contact the artist.
The Last Song is a video installation in which artist Sirine Fattouh, accompanied by a young girl, sings a patriotic Lebanese song that she herself performed in 1989, during the final months of the Lebanese civil war. This song marks a bittersweet memory of her last day attending school in Beirut, just before they closed indefinitely due to the intensifying conflict. Shortly afterward, Sirine and her family left Lebanon, relocating to France for the next four years. Through this work, the artist reflects on memory, displacement, and the emotional echoes of conflict across generations.
