Sci-Fi Trilogy by Larissa Sansour

Dar El-Nimer for Arts and Culture presents 'Sci-Fi Trilogy', an exhibition by Palestinian artist Larissa Sansour. The exhibition brings together three of Sansour’s films – 'A Space Exodus' (2009), 'Nation Estate' (2012) and 'In the Future They Ate From the Finest Porcelain' (2016).

Under the common themes of loss, belonging, heritage and national identity, the films explore aspects of the social and political turmoil of the Middle East.

Using the language of sci-fi and glossy production, Sansour’s trilogy presents a dystopian vision of a Middle East on the brink of the apocalypse. The three films are shown alongside related installations, sculptural and photographic works.

'Sci-Fi Trilogy' is Sansour's first solo exhibition in Beirut. She currently works and resides in London.
