 'in/tangible cartographies – new arab video' was commisioned by World Wide Video Festival 2001, and especially curated by Jayce Salloum.
Delving into memory of a place, uncovering Hamra, the main street of modernity in Beirut where all has happened and all will happen. Using the trope of the stories of their buildings two concierges Abu Adel and Abu Youssef guide us into the time and space of the street and into accounts of memory and territoriality. They have a multitude of stories, as many as the street itself. Oblique angles stretch our perceptions as we see through Khodr's eyes, Hamra, the red one, as red as the sun that it sees rise and at the end of the street and the day, its setting.
