This tape focuses on the artist's separation
from her Palestinian family, specifically her mother, whose letters from Beirut form the soundtrack. Hatoum photographed her mother in the shower during a brief family reunion. The personal and political are inextricably linked in a narrative that explores identity and sexuality against a backdrop of traumatic social rupture, exile and displacement. |
