Alshaibi's charged interpretation of the brother juxtaposes a fast car going round in circles with the image of a veiled female protagonist on a trapeze. As she approaches the image closer, and then goes further away, she allows for her disappearance, and yet her placement beside him also defines the position she wishes to take beside his presence. The two channel video is embedded in a custom made black box.
Exhibitions
