Entre les ruines (Among Ruins), a video installation in collaboration with the dancer Alexandre Paulikevitch and five musicians, filmed in Bint Jbeil, Southern Lebanon, 2007.

Entre les ruines (Among the ruins) is a collaboration with dancer and choreographer Alexandre Paulikevitch. The shooting took place in Bint Jbeil, in southern Lebanon in February 2007, shortly after the end of the 33-day war between Hezbollah and the Israeli army in 2006. This video intersects the desolate condition of the village with the tension exerted by the dancer. Usually performed by a woman, the dance is here embodied by a man, allowing a different reading of a body in relation to it’s surrounding of deserted ruins. Fattouh asked five musicians to each create a sound track for the video. The final installation is a projection with five headphones so that the visitor can choose between the different sonic interpretations of the video.
