Anas Al Horani’s co-creation work as part of IN/OUT Festival – “Here/There”: here

“Here/There”

Webpage: http://nationalgallery.org/event/in-out-festival-miramar-al-nayyar-anas-al-horani/

“Here/There” is a representation of the internal monologue the individual has in a public space.

Public spaces are where the inner and outer interact, and the contradiction is temporarily resolved. Walking in a public space slowly, and without a purpose – or flâneuring through it – expands the inner landscape of the individual and exposes it to the elements.

“Here/There” uses both the written word and visual material to represent this resulting fusion, and in doing so places the delicate expressionist portraiture of Miramar Al Nayyar in direct contrast with the circular, stream-of-consciousness prose of Anas Al Horani.
