Untitled part 3b: (as if) beauty never ends
Jayce Salloum 2003 Drama 84 min.
Working directly and viscerally as well as metaphorically, this video art
short by Lebanese artist Jayce Salloum provides an elegiac response to the
Palestinian dispossession. Moving between ambient imagery - orchids
blooming - and news broadcast horrors the aftermath of the 1982 Sabra and
Shatila massacre the study soon turns to the abstractions of space - clouds
and satellite images. These images meet the voice over of Abdel Majid Fadl
Ali Hassan (a refugee living in the Bourj El Barajneh camp) recounting a
story told by the rubble of his home in Palestine, combining to produce an
intense essay on dystopia in contemporary times.
