Dark world
“Dark world” performance and installation

Multimedia installations that profile the hardships of mineworkers in Jerada, a mining region notorious for numerous worksite deaths. The project balances the themes of the hardships of the inhabitants of that city and of the working class in general with intimate issues in the artist’s personal life and events that he can never forget such as the image of his father’s blackened face and clothes when he returned home from the mines at night.
