I have always loved Architecture, I think they have given me a lot of inspiration , the forms. When I saw the images of Muralla Roja for the first time, I was amazed immediately by the colors, and the way how Ricardo Bofill created and separated the space. And it has become the destination of my project since . After Covid blocked the world for two years, I finally got the chance to go there with one dancer to make my dream come true . But it was like everything else, meaning nothing came easily. We have been talking and imagined what and where we can shoot, and how the movement should be like. But nothing is like what we thought once we got there. First , there is not enough space for the dancer to move around or dance like I always ask them to. The corridor is too narrow, the stairs are intricately intertwined, which is something I have never seen before. I start asking the dancer to dance, move as much as he can to be closer to what I was asked him to do. And at the same time, I am trying to imagine and to play with space , to make gravitational illusions. Here we are, my new work “Inception“.
I rented an apartment in the Muralla Roja for a week. The first 2,3 days we will study the location, space, and sunlight of course. And we were also doing some fashion shoots there for Arabian Mode fashion magazine, which allow us to take time to be at the place at the right time, to make it fast because after all, there are still people living inside, we don’t wanna become the center of attention.
