Please Touch is an expressionistic film that aims to portray Nadine Abou Zaki’s emotions while sculpting blindfolded in the dark & the concept of her interactive sculptural performance. All sounds and images are extracted from the artist’s universe. Produced by Denise Jabbour Directed and shot by Muriel Aboulrouss Assisted by Bachar Khattar Edited by Liliane Hanbali Sound recording by Mohab Chanesaz This film was featured in Please Touch exhibition. Please Touch is an interactive performance introducing a new concept to sculpture. Nadine Abou Zaki sculpted blindfolded in the dark, focusing on the inner self, thereby substituting the sense of sight with that of touch. She questions the role of image as a contemporary tool, the physical act of touching in artistic creation, and the relation of this tactile experience to memory. What is sculpting without a body? Communicating without body? Desiring without body? She invited people to touch, experience and interact in the dark with her sculptures. What if you have to touch to see? The interactive sculptural performance was in collaboration with: Zeid Hamdan: Touch-screen design Alaa Minawi: Artistic lighting Lisa Chehade: Living sculpture Bshara Atallah: Textile recreation Curator: Agial Art Gallery Exhibition Dates: November 20-30, 2014 Venue: Station Beirut, Jisr al Wati, Beirut- Lebanon
