…The idea was to reclaim the stairs as public space by screening a documentary on Fairuz and the Lebanese war.
The art intervention came as a mean to appropriate the stair case and declare the physical and the visual united.
The black and white image in the flyer was scaled up and printed as a 3mx3m poster. The printout was sliced into pieces then installed on the riser of the staircase.
The original image can be seen from a vantage point at a far distance and at close-up it turns into thousands of pixels.
The aim of the artwork is to attract the locals and to try to re-familiarize the public space in a therapeutic way."
