A visual lecture-performance on the reception and consumption of contemporary images
In Mind, The Gap, Hani Sami intertwines performance, theoretical musings and visual projections. Based on the premise of an inner battle between control and helplessness in the human condition, Sami reflects on the responsibility that comes with our attempt to communicate. Using iconic images from the past decade he takes the audience on a journey of intellect, trauma and catharsis.
