From Syria to Palestine: El Autostrad' (excerpt), Video Installation in collaboration with Stéphanie Dadour, Lebanon, 2017.
Ashkal Alwan Production, Post-production supported by Institut Français du Liban.
Two cameras were installed inside a car to film a video installation that explores the Lebanese territory by following a continuous journey along the highway connecting north to south—from the Lebanese-Syrian border to the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
The journey was filmed in a single attempt, unfolding over the course of a typical day. Covering just over 200 kilometers—approximately four hours without traffic—the route becomes a line that links a series of places, each carrying layered identities, histories, and tensions.
Through this double perspective, the installation captures the act of traversing Lebanon as both a physical and symbolic gesture. The road becomes not only a passage but a receptacle of narratives, a conduit for memory, and a fragmented portrait of a country marked by visible and invisible borders.
