Nation Estate (2012)

• clinically dystopian - glossy images CGIs
• a vertical solution - a high rise encapsulates the whole palestinian population and culture
• sci-fi as a carrier bag for complex political and identity issues
• many sci-fi films created in Eastern side of Berlin - such as Metropolis
• carves a new direction in the way video art can be an aggressive player in reimagining future utopias

Falafel Road (2010)

• Did Israel steal the falafel from the Palestinians? This seemingly silly question is a precursor to an investigation into the intentional and systematic hijacking and eradication of Palestinian cultural history by the state of Israel.
• This psycho-geographical project charts a subjective and exilic map of the falafel in London, as well map those attending the meals - a collage of friends and colleagues belonging to relevant artistic and political networks.
