Tapes Began Decaying

Lebanon, 2020, 16’

When her uncle passed away in 2017, Reeda inherited his personal belongings, in which she discovered abandoned cassette tapes recorded by her family during the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990). This leads her to portray his “hauntological” journey through observational imagery and decaying soundscapes.Reeda Fneiche
