Still life with neon, fridge and beer, 2018

Still life with neon, fridge and beer is an installation with a 1:1 replica of the neon of “Torino Express”- a bar in Beirut whose name references the train to Torino, and a fridge filled with “Al Arz” beers - a brand of beer available in restaurants in Europe which claims to be from Lebanon but is actually not produced or sold there. The installation creates an impossible bar where these two found objects meet and are activated.
