l'autre coté, 2-channel video installation, 2006.
worldwideprayingdirections, stencils, 2008 & ongoing.

 

 

The video installation l'autre coté shows two views over the sea, from France and from Senegal. Two brothers tell their story, they speak about migration, their experiences and what connects them over the sea.

The arrows and symbols of worldwideprayingdirections show the praying directions of Jews (Jerusalem), Muslims (Mekka) and Christians (East) at a specific place.

The 3-channel video installation how to rock the casbah takes the well known punk song of the band “The Clash” as a starting point for reflections on diverse, often conflicting receptions of globally available cultural artefacts.
