One Hundred and twenty minutes
(2019-2023)
In One Hundred and Twenty Minutes (the amount of time we dedicate to dream every night), I have worked with 16 individuals who are exiled from their native countries to live in the UK. Through photography, poetry, drawing and video, I examine the emotional and psychological landscapes of dreams in exile, the new lives we create with these dreams, and the ways in which they keep returning us to our past.
Harvest it from depths of sleep
carry it to the land of awaken
a souvenir.
In dream,
open your eyes
and
listen to the sound of life
through the window,
imagine being born into the sky
live.
And
when you die
do you still dream?
dream of life?
ashes of humans
stone birds
bone
pomegranate
red dress
fist
Sea
door
snake
silent scream,
get the light
carry the shadows home
within you
your children
your father
your mother
your sister
your brother
you are dreaming
wake up
for
one hundred and twenty minutes.
