A River Flows Through Dreams صلاة حلم

Video work, single channel, 5 mins

A River Flows Through Dreams (صلاة حلم) explores the intertwined conditions of displacement and longing, finding steadfastness through acts of ritual, transmission and liminal dreams of the departed, while reflecting on relationships to water, dispossession and enduring beliefs.

“To speak to the dead means to undo the function of my ear such that the tiniest bones in my body can transmit this “unvoiced longing.” - Haytham el-Wardany.
