On the first floor of the gallery, Walid Raad’s Sweet Talk Commissions (Solidere: 1994–1997) from 2019 takes over the whole space. The film endlessly shows downtown Beirut being destroyed and rebuilt in a mirrored kaleidoscopic loop. Reflecting on symptoms of how violence affects the world, the images reveal an alternative space-time in which the depicted buildings exist. This is the first part of an exhibition by Raad, that will continue with a solo presentation opening in November in Hamburg.
