In this solo exhibition, Dareen Abbas seizes the passage of events as a means to delicately reveal dimensions that can only be accessed indirectly, through interweaving of archetypal imagery and material qualities.
Immersion is an audio-visual installation forming a parallel universe that hovers around our physical existence. Blending video projections and sculptures, Dareen Abbas focuses on the metamorphosis of material wherein the camera captures the emotional and mental entanglement with gravity and the primary elements (water, earth, air and fire).
Dareen Abbas has developed this work as part of the Moussem production ‘Broken Shapes’ (A union between author Rimah Jabr’s theater work and Dareen Abbas’s visual piece).
Dareen Abbas has developed this work during a long residency at Moussem Nomadic Arts Centre and at WIELS Arts Center in the context of Moussem's Co-production “Broken shapes” a union between Rimah Jabr’s writing and theater work and Dareen Abbas’s visual work.
