No Title

In The Storyteller, we see a rehearsal for a new play in Jerusalem. Ahmad Natche focuses on those who watch, and on the empty chairs of an audience to come. In Still Life Primavera, a window is a membrane between those who watch and life outside. A candle illuminates the stillness and the image remains suspended in a whispering prayer. “‘Disaster ruins everything while leaving everything as it is’, wrote Maurice Blanchot. Everything. From the southern districts of Beirut to southern Lebanon, a car winds its way through the devastated country. There is no title for such desolation” (Ghassan Salhab).
