As If I Don't Fit There. 2005
12-minute looping video installation
A presentation about four fictional Artists who decided to stop being Artists and who were not annoyed to do so. With silent printed Text , they tell us why they quit Art, and what is their current job. In parallel to that they show us a video documenting what they did as artists. By chance most of them present videos that look like an already existing artwork. Slowly, we discover that Al Solh takes the role of her invented characters, to criticize subtly artistic issues through playing with the idea of constant doubt that confronts her as an Artist. The result however, though based on criticism and cynicism is not at all negative or implosive, and this contradiction is another main aspect of the work.
