Modern history of Kuwait, such as the Gulf War, have erased centuries of rich heritage history in the collective imagination by monopolizing international attention. Kuwaiti culture has survived through these events, but this reductive representation continues.
This is why I try to represent more precisely what constitutes the Kuwaiti identity by filming the activities of ordinary daily life. The monotony of citizen habits is for me a vector of the essence of a culture.
Through this video, I wanted to deconstruct Western conceptions of Kuwait. Naively desire that everyday banality can provoke or stimulate the listener a feeling of identification, therefore of empathy.
Humanize these people in the eyes and ears of those who dehumanize them too often.
