Rim Harrabi, Stage II, 2022, 3’48''
STAGE II portrays the modern human experience as an unrelenting barrage of information and images. Amidst a multitude of visuals, real-time data saturation, and the frenetic pace of social media, we find ourselves continuously bombarded and overwhelmed. From the perpetual flux of social, political, and economic upheavals to the intrusive influences of voyeurism, entertainment, obsession, and control, our consciousness is flooded with an unyielding torrent of despair, leading to a loss of self-awareness.
