SPRING: I… Cognitive maps – Chapter 1
This Lebanese artist is bringing back the simple art of storytelling
What do you remember about your childhood bedroom? Or about each of the homes you ever lived in? The Lebanese artist Ely Daou is delving into the depths of his memory to sketch the various apartments he was forced to evacuate during the Lebanese civil war and in the years thereafter. He gathers us around an old-fashioned overhead projector and tells us his personal life story, recounting his escape from a war-torn area, migration, loss of possessions, and recollecting memories. An intimate performance in which we all become family of this unique artist.
