An installation artwork that stages an encounter between poems composed by Jews and Muslims (kings, wanderers, viziers, philosophers) living in 11th century Iberia.

My work sequences images and videos to the rhythms of a shared poetic verse style, called a Muwashshah. Images blend and merge and are revealed through human interaction.

The full experience of the work relies on interaction with an'other' person but feel welcome to come alone as well; ideally, then, you will encounter a stranger and learn to work together.
