A woman is informed of the death of her dream and embarks on a journey meandering between her inner and outer reality. An oneiric quest across land and sea, this video poem is an act of exorcism of a past that failed, where places of constant motion become home.
Ginou Choueiri is an interdisciplinary artist working across mediums of painting, performance, installation and moving image. Her work taps into personal experience, exploring notions of uprootedness, longing and belonging. She is interested in embodied ways of representing reality through moving image, exploring the in-between space where the inner/outer, and visible/invisible intersect. She completed an MA in Artist Film and Moving Image at Goldsmiths University in London where she graduated with high distinction as well as winning the prestigious Warden's prize for best work in the year’s cohort. Her documentary film "Rhythm of Forgetting”, premiered at DocLisboa and won various awards. Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues such as Contemporary Art Center of Barcelona (Spain), Merz Foundation (Italy), and Williamsburg Art Center (USA). She is also ArteEast’s film programs curator and is based in between Beirut and New York.
