This video is a personal interpretation by me (OscarHr) of the experience of the journey from the Syrian artist Manaf Halbouni to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and complementary to the documentary-interview released by Counterpoints Arts (links bellow). With the footage from the artist and a simple guitar riff, I´ve turn the car into the main character of the story, as Halbouni does in his installations. His Volkswagen Golf stands alone but acquiring the personality of it´s owner through the traces and the changes made by him during the journey.
"No Where is Home"
Victoria & Albert Museum London, 2015.
A car loaded with personal possessions is turned into a living space – an impossible home for a “modern nomad unable to belong and grow roots”. "Nowhere is Home" stands as a moving testament to loss, resilience and hope for over 50 million displaced people across the world, who are often forced to hastily pack a few cherished belongings onto a car before escaping war, natural disaster or conflict.

First part of the Interview with the Sirian-German artist Manaf Halbouni and Review of his latest Proposals.
In this video: OFF ROAD. The Christmas exhibition in his off space for contemporary art in Dresden, where he invites every year the local artists and the visitors to bring some christmas decoration. The resulting installation is allways unexpected.
On the next video: 'Sachse auf der Flucht'. And latest works in progress.

Trailer of the film "What if" (13:47 min). Manaf Halbouni, 2017.
A performance piece to imagine a different geo-political scenario.
At a time where Europe and its nation states are under question What If? deals with an alternative history timeline of colonialism in the Middle East. Most of the countries in that area today were formed by British and French agreements through the Sykes-Picot Agreement which, in 1916 divided the Middle East into the countries we know now: Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, ... are some of those who fell into that agreement. Manaf is turning this history round, fictionalising a world where the Ottoman Empire and United States of Arabia split Europe instead.
Concept and Performance by Manaf Halbouni.
Directed and edited by OscarHR.
Music by SixEnsemble.
Sponsored by: Deveron Projects, Creative Scotland, Goethe Institut, Aberdeenshire Council.
