description:

Live painting and cutout assembled at 2-hour El Yafta public arts festival. Male behavior, specifically that of Arab men, is parodied as one feeds off of another. The second man reflects Beirut’s skyline and clings to the objects that tie him down in an intimate spatial intervention.

 

collecting things he feels are out of place, both organic and false as he himself is both. he enters on two legs, a meeker shadow in close pursuit, burdened with the fleshbag stretched taught with the dawn’s winnings. and with his arrival vectors turn to pixels. stripped corpuscles betray the structure of solidity’s coherence. the compound is no more–it fractures, but is healed once he has passed. it takes time. yet all he selects are taken and brought to his distant elsewhere.
