Barzakh (2025)
Single channel video installation, (16mm transferred to digital, iPhone footage and digita camcorder) colour, sound. 10min 51sec.
Barzakh (2025) moves through a city suspended between presence and absence, memory and forgetting, desire and dread. An Arabic word meaning "separation" or "barrier," ‘Barzakh’ refers to a state between life and death – a veil between the dead and their return to the world of the living. The film explores the haunted contours of longing and dislocation: spaces flicker, thresholds multiply, and bodies move like apparitions through a city that never fully reveals itself. What emerges is neither dream nor document, but a realm where perception falters and something unnamed lingers.
