MiddleSea Zineb Sedira 2008 16mins Colour Sound S16 mm Single screen film installation

In MiddleSea a central character travels on a ferry between Marseille and Algiers.

The piece explores the cultural crossovers, the geo-political area as a continual interweaving of cultural roots and historical routes. The seascape journey portrays an intricate space of encounters, currents and continual transit. A site of ancient civilisation as well as contemporary tourism and migration.

The sea is a site of historical, cultural and contemporary 'movement' as well as a barrier and a divider between the South and North, the East and West. S.Z.
