Manaf Halbouni tears his "Monument" down after the Protests. #Tearitdown #Bildungsfail ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlWq5truDy8

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.
