Galerie Tanit, Beirut
Edition of 2.
The project is an interpretation of the current complexity of domestic space, which is no longer strictly private. Living and working from home have blurred the boundaries between what is public and private, making the current condition ambiguous. We were once together; we are now alone, but connected from within our intimate spaces. What is truly private anymore, when the physical boundaries of our homes are fading away, unintentionally revealing us to spectators?
In an attempt to reflect on this new reality, a system of modules is placed in the exhibition space. Visitors are invited to move them around and collectively alter the experience of the space. The system brings the private into the public eye and allows forms that were once connected to reemerge and reconnect, transforming the status of the private and reimagining the act of being together.
Presented as part of Togetherness, the collective reopening exhibition of Galerie Tanit’s Mar Mikhael space following the August 4, 2020 Beirut port explosion.
