Based on photographs of Sabra & Shatila massacre, 1982

The work attempts to explore muddled images of memory as a result of collective trauma. The impact of trauma occupies our memory in a complex manner that reveals itself in blurry images, collectively forming the unspoken. According to galaxy logic, summoned elements – such as images, songs, poems etc. – form the luminous dots circulating in the black hole orbit. As we attempt to lock fading images from the past for fear that it may dissolve, An image becomes a luminous dot connected in relation to other dots, collectively revealing the black hole. In other words, collectively revealing the unspoken or the unstated. Tony Seker
