Hiba Alansari

The piece is based on a maths book which Hiba Alansari found in a ravaged house in northern Syria. It belonged to a sixthgrader, Nour Bazakadi, who lost her life in a missile attack. She parallels this document to her «Math Book»: images of destroyed cutlery, laid out to equations that do not add up. The performance, taking place amidst a scenery of destruction, physically expands the installation and allows «The Math Book» to be a total artwork, showing in condensed form the omnipresence of destruction in Syria.
