Ejecta

Ejecta is an immersive installation created especially for the reopening of the Sursock Museum – museum of modern art in Beirut – following the explosion of August 4, 2020. “Refusing collapse, opposing deterioration, responding to violence with revoked violence, using the only weapon of thought, culture, art and what is the noblest and brightest in man. Ejecta incites to take the weapons of massive construction. A lightning bolt is always possible to strike down Ignorance. We must fight the shadow by an excess of light, the black by saturation of color, the explosion by an even more powerful explosion. Ejecta is a luminous explosion, the burst of a volcanic hope before the appearance of a consoling song, it is a cathartic temple inside which, rubble and ruins, ashes and fragments mutate into sparkling crystal in order to ease all pains”.
