Enahoum Kanoo Honna / They Were Here
 
  Syria 2000 - Videotape, Betacamsp, 8:00
black&white, Arabic with English subtitles
 
'in/tangible cartographies – new arab video' was commisioned by World Wide Video Festival 2001, and especially curated by Jayce Salloum.
Coming to terms with the end of the industrial era, an elegant and eloquently composed study reverberating with lives lived, fading images and relics of retrospection. Al Beik makes a tightly drawn piece of a public space, private contemplations and an ephemeral sensibility.

– Jayce Salloum
