📚 A Place for/in Place of Identity? A conversation with Larissa Sansour
by Silvia Hassouna
“In the (enclosed) conversation, Larissa Sansour talks about her recent film In Vitro (2019) and her science fiction trilogy A Space Exodus (2008), Nation Estate (2012) and In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2015). In Vitro was presented at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019 as a two- channel film, an installation and an architectural intervention. Sansour presents an apocalyptic and dystopian future, combining themes of progress and technology with the Palestinian experience of displacement and uprootedness in imaginative and uncanny ways.
“The interview unpacks different facets of national identity through the themes of loss, belonging, heritage and ecology. Sansour discusses the emancipatory potential in claiming expressive forms that artists from the Middle East are not expected to use”
