Rania Barhoumi / Echoes of Contemplation: Bathing Under Bombs

ECHOES OF CONTEMPLATION: BATHING UNDER BOMBS

On a Friday night, following a day surrendered to the camera's gaze, our eyes relinquished control. After immersing ourselves in the timeless dance of existence, capturing the silent choreography of inanimate objects, we found ourselves steeped in the daily exhibition of motion that surrounds us. We walked through a gallery of unseen spirits with unadorned eyes, hair billowing shapeless in the wind, and the colourless collage of urban debris strewn about the streets. Having spent the day capturing these motionless entities, just before projecting them to the point of exhaustion of observation, we retreated to a bath - the pivotal moment of
reflection and transformation, where the boundaries between observer and observed blur into a singular, immersive experience.
