ABOUT
An Arab Spring 2013 – 14
Each pitta bread was partially painted, on one side only, using matte black paint. They were photographed once on the black side, and then on their natural, unpainted side while placed on a black wall-hanging that was purchased in a Home Depot store in New Jersey. Surrounding them is a white chalk border, as a reminder where to aim the camera.
There are two books on the carpet, both published in 1975, ‘Un printemps arabe’ (An Arab Spring), and ‘Fayçal, roi d’Arabie’ (Faisal, King of Arabia), both written by Jacques Benoist-Méchin, who was a friend of Marcel Proust. In the Second World War, Méchin worked for the Vichy government, and later wrote a series of books on the formation of the Middle East in the previous century. His books have a clearly colonialist perspective.
The numerical combination method influences the visual impact of animation – now intensified, now weakened – on what is the anyway random basis according to which the pittas were placed.
