This video installation captures a home that spans multiple time zones – from Damascus, Baghdad, Istanbul to Paris – rooted in daily video calls with family. Through a box of disassembled screen filters, viewers gaze into a space of fragmented memories, representing my scattered family, brought together only in this digital abode. The artwork transforms screens from mere projectors to windows into lives lived in solitude, reflecting the intermittent and sometimes blurred transmissions that connect us. It is a testament to communication across distance and an account of events attended virtually—a wedding, an engagement, the growth of beards, the intense absence of loss. As technology blurs the lines between the present and the actor, “Hybrid Memory” raises the question of existence beyond the screen, where my family and I become guardians of a divided but profound reality. This work is an intimate record of digital echoes, an artistic investigation into the medium that supports our fragmented union https://ameralbarzawi.com/Amphebious Tue, 12 Apr 2022 15:26:00 +0000 Amer Albarzawi https://ameralbarzawi.com/Amphebious Amphebious (2023) Amphibious is a film about Khaled’s integration into a new city whose culture and language are foreign to him. As the story progresses, Khaled tries to connect with his environment by adopting a fish, which is like a symbol of his search for identity and belonging. Amphibious is a metaphor for this journey, and underlines the idea that life is a continuous process of adaptation and transformation, during which the boundaries between different states of existence are often blurred and uncertain. It is a testament to the resilience of human thought in the face of isolation and alienation. https://ameralbarzawi.com/Man-and-Chaos Tue, 12 Apr 2022 15:25:59 +0000 Amer Albarzawi https://ameralbarzawi.com/Man-and-Chaos Featured Work &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Man and Chaos journey of a young man to search for his true memory after it was replaced by a false one.

Dancer consisted partly out of a training program and partly out of a performance process, that led to the performance in a double bill with a work of Lawand Hajo, choreographer and artistic director of the Syrian company Ramad Dance. The choreographers of Le Grand Cru were inspired by both the archaic and&nbsp; modern character of life they encountered in the capital of Damascus. Like history and present are folding together. Through metaphors the choreographers show personal stories of the dancers in the complexity of modern Arab life.

This beautiful and heavy city ,We put forward some hypotheses, who will open the door? Prepare graphs Syrie 2010 Dancer and Director Preparing graphic forms, it is an experimental theatrical performance, dealing with dyslexia in children, After knowing my friend Ali for two years, I also got to know Ali’s little brother Youssef. Youssef is a child with dyslexia syndrome. Then I learned that he needed a private school to receive lessons that suited his condition, but unfortunately in Syria there are no such schools, and Youssef used to go daily to regular school, Youssef always notices the difference, and is exposed to bullying and indifference. This is what prompted me to shed light in one way or another on the case of Youssef, and of course the thousands of similar cases, The show dealt with the pure fantasies of Yusef, who performed in the show, some of his games and fantasies, without restrictions or decorations or interference from anyone, The show is about Ali, an actor from Syria, and his brother Youssef. On the other hand, I and my brother Abdullah are the same age as Youssef. We put them together in almost daily rehearsals to discover what is going on between them, what is the result and how Abdullah dealt with Youssef and vice versa, by listening to some music and performing some exercises and games, we discover, after about two months of activity, according to the testimony of parents and Ali, that Youssef feels better, especially from a psychological point of view. We have built around him a safe environment where he can share any idea, even if it is different and unruly, with us and then with the public in all transparency, without judgments, wonderment or bullying. We see through the twenty-minute show, which is inside a consulting center for sexual diseases in Damascus, Youssef's world is full of imagination and pure innocence, and we coordinate with some dances with live music to fuse with dances, stories and songs. Youssef is now still in Damascus after 12 years of the show and after the years of the war, which was very harsh on him, he did not complete his studies for sure, he is still firm and resistant, and he is now working with his father in a textile shop, https://ameralbarzawi.com/Video-Clips-Dancing-Videos Tue, 12 Apr 2022 15:26:01 +0000 Amer Albarzawi https://ameralbarzawi.com/Video-Clips-Dancing-Videos https://ameralbarzawi.com/SHORT-FILMS Thu, 14 Apr 2022 13:35:30 +0000 Amer Albarzawi https://ameralbarzawi.com/SHORT-FILMS Amphibious2023 <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b05537dfa811056f75f415569b207acbf255117ed719505e510187fbf6c12c3/7.jpg" data-mid="185426942" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b05537dfa811056f75f415569b207acbf255117ed719505e510187fbf6c12c3/7.jpg" /> <img width="1919" height="1439" width_o="1919" height_o="1439" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7de50ca19d5849841b936ba81763907d7145c11139d6df475cb2979ee4e85d8f/Screenshot-2025-04-16-185215.png" data-mid="231617814" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7de50ca19d5849841b936ba81763907d7145c11139d6df475cb2979ee4e85d8f/Screenshot-2025-04-16-185215.png" /> <img width="1924" height="1439" width_o="1924" height_o="1439" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a081a4e8edc70b28b90fc88a3c1c727c2ffc5f337e1d80163952887379697921/Screenshot-2025-04-16-184823.png" data-mid="234555389" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a081a4e8edc70b28b90fc88a3c1c727c2ffc5f337e1d80163952887379697921/Screenshot-2025-04-16-184823.png" /> <img width="1921" height="1439" width_o="1921" height_o="1439" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/afe6511faedc579f583d09d1b12fff8aaa7dcc8b904ab0e795eadc1870e1b018/Screenshot-2025-04-16-185347.png" data-mid="234555388" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/afe6511faedc579f583d09d1b12fff8aaa7dcc8b904ab0e795eadc1870e1b018/Screenshot-2025-04-16-185347.png" /> <img width="1921" height="1437" width_o="1921" height_o="1437" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f9dabcedbd8c4890a65c4e28fe569b5db3c9905a087e6c272c2552a1e836dc17/Screenshot-2025-04-16-185500.png" data-mid="231617817" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f9dabcedbd8c4890a65c4e28fe569b5db3c9905a087e6c272c2552a1e836dc17/Screenshot-2025-04-16-185500.png" /> Yaman 2017 With this phrase, the film opens, where Yaman narrates in a world of childlike supernatural objects made of watercolours and handicrafts, and a cinematic decor made of cardboard papers and putty in the formation of things and objects.
