Paul Holdengräber is joined by filmmaker and photographer Ziad Antar on episode 097 of The Quarantine Tapes. In a conversation recorded one month after the Beirut explosion, Ziad talks about his experience being in Beirut at the time of the explosion. He felt a loss of hope in the aftermath of the explosion, Ziad tells Paul, speaking frankly about the difficulty of coping with that experience. Ziad kindly shared a video that he made after the blast demolished his home: https://youtu.be/az_NQsfXf78 .Ziad recently contributed a video, “The Little Boat,” to Onassis’s ENTER project. Ziad and Paul discuss this moving work and talk about Ziad’s artistic practice, digging into how Ziad wants to transform images into ideas in his work. Their conversation is moving and thoughtful, deeply grounded in the moment in which Ziad finds himself.Credits:Paul Holdengraber - Co-Creator, Host, OLA DirectorAnthony Audi - Co-Creator, Researcher, OLA DirectorAlejandro Cohen - Co-Creator, Producer, ComposerChristian Pitt - Production Coordinator Erin Cooney - Copy, ProductionDublab Team
