  Egypt 1998 – Videotape, MiniDV, 4:00
colour, stereo, Arabic with English subtitles
 
'in/tangible cartographies – new arab video' was commisioned by World Wide Video Festival 2001, and especially curated by Jayce Salloum.
Frustrated with the problems of the impossibility of the possibilities of representation, the existential 'angst' of the protagonist leads us into and out of parable, philosophy and last but not least melodrama. Surrounded by a multitude of reasons to tape and seeing none the videomaker runs at life haunted by forces inside with a soul lost to despondency swimming in a mire of conjecture.

– Jayce Salloum
