Profile
- Basel Abbas born 1983 in Nicosia, Cyprus. Based in New York, USA and Ramallah, Palestine.
- Ruanne Abou-Rahme born 1983 in Boston, USA. Based in New York, USA and Ramallah, Palestine.
Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme work together across a range of sound, image, text, installation, and performance practices. Their endeavors lie in traversing performativity, political imaginaries, physicality, and virtuality. Their approach is characterized by sampling both existing and self-produced materials in the form of sound, image, text, and objects, and recasting them into altogether new “scripts.” The result is a practice that investigates the political, emotional, and material possibilities of sound, image, texts, and sites taking the form of multimedia installations and live sound/image performances.
