Sadik Alfraji, Ali's Boat, 2015, Animation Film, Full HD, Sound, 6 minutes 37 seconds
Intangible delves into the ramifications of socio-political struggles as interpreted through the perspectives of various artists. These videos, animations and films address a spectrum of issues, from protests and the demise of youth due to ongoing wars, to immigration and the interplay between collective cultural coping mechanisms and political unrest. Subtly, they serve as a mouthpiece for a silenced cry for change.
The immersive audio-visual experience within the darkened exhibition space envelops the viewer, evoking the sensation of standing amidst a dissonance of simultaneous conversations. The imagery lingers in the mind, ranging from expressionist animations paired with “mantra-like” soundscapes, to documented testimonies of struggle, to recreated scenes of war and its culture-specific traditions.
What is “intangible” is what cannot be physically grasped, repaired, or altered. It is the realm of raw emotion and instinctive reactions to lived and perceived realities.
