The Jerusalem Show, Outside the Gates of Heaven

The Jerusalem Show (‘Ala Abwab Al Janna) borrows its English title from the vivacious and atypical formats of the Saturday Night Live show and the Muppet Show, whereas its Arabic title ‘Ala Abwab Al Janna (Outside the Gates of Heaven) references the sacramental veneration that is bestowed on Jerusalem. A similar ludicrous dichotomy is ostensible to Jerusalem’s inhabitants (including us at Al-Ma’mal Foundation). Read more

Long Long Way Surekha

Long Long Way

In “Long Long Way”, (2003) we witness a close-up of a hand (whose outline is unseen beyond the video frame) in movement, sometimes gently and other times harshly, along a wall. The contact of the hand upon the wall’s surface could be a simultaneous investigation of intimacy and tension. Surekha presents the video as a continuous loop in order to further emphasize the endless question of the experience of physical (exterior) contact as associated with personal (internal) experience. The video was projected outdoors at Al-Ma’mal Foundation, New Gate, Old City.
