Passage is a site-specific, two-channel video installation, which
expands Nujoom Alghanem's experimentation with contemporary Arabic
poetry through the language of film. Taking her quintessential 2009
poem, The Passerby Collects the Moonlight, as a point of departure,
this installation explores the universal experience of
displacement. This Brechtian conflation of reality and fiction,
culminating in a scene that depicts Falak arriving at the pavilion
in Venice, prompts the viewers to consider the parallelism between
the film's three protagonists: the director, the actress and the
fictional character. These three women of a similar age share the
experience of similar dualities: the hidden and the revealed,
fragility and power, belonging and displacement. The experience of
passage and duality also permeates the design of the exhibition
space, where visitors can enter and exit from either side of the
pavilion. A large screen, diagonally positioned at the centre,
divides the space into two symmetrical halves. The viewers are
invited to engage both with Nujoom and Amal's real process of
creating the film and with the cinematographic portrayal of the
fictional character of Falak.
