To Sweep
To sweep seems like one of the common acts in our lives. From the
simple daily life chore of cleaning one’s home to the more painful
attempt to sweep after bombardment and wars of all sorts to sweeping
after a peaceful revolution. To sweep is an act that is essential to
start again, to rebuild one’s life.The installation
To Sweep was created in December 2010, a few weeks
before the sweeping movements that are shaking the Arab World began.
Since then, a few items on the
To Sweep installation list, including dictatorship
and fear, have started to be swept.
