'in/tangible cartographies – new arab video' was commisioned by World Wide Video Festival 2001, and especially curated by Jayce Salloum.
Glimpses of fragments, slivers of silver light pierce through the cracks in the skies, rambling around the streets of Cairo. Weaving through threads of space we reach a disembodied ledger of a cannibalistic relationship, eating the sun while the world revolves, we are a web of atomized beings breathing life into the apparitions which are us.

– Jayce Salloum
