I’ll send you the pictures (2024)
single-channel digital video, color, sound
15 minutes 30 seconds
The film documents the first-time exchange between the artist and her family member, a second cousin currently domiciled in a small West Bank village under increasingly tight military occupation.
In between the dialogue, a signal traveled thousands of miles between New York and the West Bank, is a visual exchange of images, both archival and immediate. Having rediscovered and amassed information about an archaeological site under the family estate, the artist’s cousin shares anecdotal information and personal family narratives enmeshed with the witness account of an American excavation of their family’s land. The artist, having never set foot in her hometown, appeals to her cousin for an interview.
The first iteration of this work premiered at the Wallach Gallery, Lenfest Center for the Arts, and was supported by Columbia University's Visual Arts Department as part of the MFA first-year show. It was screened to international audiences at St Moritz Art Film Festival in a program compiled by Naeem Mohaiemen and Adam Szymczyk.
Upcoming Screenings:
Date TBD; Reel Palestine Film Festival 2025; Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
