Sweet talk: Commissions (1987-present)
Solidere, 2019
Beginning in the mid-1990s, hundreds of buildings in downtown Beirut were demolished, their rubble thrown into the sea, to reconstruct the new post-war city centre. The works displayed here derive from dozens of implosion videos recorded by irritated former tenants who had been ousted and/or bought off to make room for the new downtown.
