Fairoza, a passage

2021

Video installation, sound, LED screen

Duration: 1 minute 19 seconds

Fairoza, a passage explores gesture and movement as carriers of memory. The work draws from Liwa dance, a circular form performed in the Arabian Peninsula, where bodies move rhythmically in relation to the sea. Footage recorded outdoors is digitally altered and layered with moving waves, merging dancers and water into a single visual field. The sound consists of a single wave recording, distorted and looped into a repetitive rhythm that moves between natural and mechanical tones. Installed vertically on LED screens, the image shifts with distance: from close range it fragments and dissolves; from afar it resolves into layered movement. The work considers the sea as a passage shaping gesture, relation, and collective memory.
