Between

B E T W E E N   (PROJECT)

Between is an open-ended, experimental audio-visual project I initially founded as a solo exploration and later developed into a collaboration with filmmaker and visual artist Hamdy Wahba. The project investigates the relationship between sound, image, space, and perception through field recordings, photography, video documentation, live processing, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

We work with both urban and natural environments—listening, observing, and collecting fragments of daily life and atmosphere. These materials are transformed into live performances and installations that merge sound and image in a non-hierarchical dialogue. The work doesn’t aim to tell a linear story, but rather opens a contemplative space that reflects on memory, absence, presence, and subtle forms of resistance—those embedded in the act of living, sensing, and creating in uncertain realities.

Each iteration of Between responds to the specific context in which it takes place. It functions as both a methodology and a platform for improvisation and exchange across disciplines—welcoming contributions from musicians, dancers, sound and visual artists, writers, and thinkers. The project intentionally blurs the line between documentation, composition, and real-time experience.

Ultimately, Between is a space for deep listening, experimentation, and slow observation. It continues to grow through residencies, performances, installations, and workshops, always allowing the materials, context, and collaborators to shape what it becomes next.

We are currently developing a new phase of Between as part of the "The Mind is Like a City" residency by Bsarya for Arts, in collaboration with curator Farida Youssef and a group of amazing artists. This phase is supported by the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture – AFAC, through a grant from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation – SDC.
