Re-bounce: a personal diary in exile

Perceptible Rhythms, Alternative Temporalities - Middle East Institute - DC - 2022


Re-bounce: a personal diary in exile, reflects on the feeling of self-exile, of leaving Lebanon in times of crisis. It reconsiders the dryer sheets while doing the laundry in Montreal, missing family, friends, and home. 
Instead of hanging the laundry out in the sun like it is custom to do in Beirut, in Montreal they use the dryer. Each drying session consumes one "bounce" sheet, that is then recovered and used to embroider a daily personal story
