Our Gulf is One
(2024)

A series of videographic and sculptural experiments responding to the documentary  “Kuwait” by John Feeny (1974).

The first video, Nuclear Winter, refers to the theory which describes climatic life after a nuclear war. It is believed that after a nuclear war it would take months for sunlight to reappear as normal, leaving the world in darkness and decay. The title situates the work in a post-war stillness.

The second video, Copy of a copy of a copy, depicts a theatre hall of children performing a traditional Kuwaiti dance on the day of liberation. I wanted to create this effect of dropping into each other to present the power of conservative collectivism to enforce sameness.
