masca “specter, nightmare”

مسخرة maskharah “buffoon, mockery” from ساخرة sakhira “be mocked, ridiculed",

مسخ masakha “transform”

mascarar, mascurer “to black (the face)”

an amplifier, the same size and shape of a small generator, is placed in the corner of a completely dark playground (an indoor basketball court).

the sound emitting from it is that of the generator, after being distorted, filtered and inverted.

 

 

 

This project is part of the the 2016 Ras Masqa Artists' Residency.
