Place; Al Deam-street in Khartoum, Sudan

Summary; The speed of life in Al Deam Street captured with light.

Project of; Nisren Abasher (SU), Jae-min Kim (KR), Danielle Davidson (NL)

The tempo of life in Sudan is different. People walk slowly, more slow than in countries like Holland or Korea. There are many types of transportation, each with their own character, speed and appearance.  We projected a light onto a wall, which brought all the different “speeds” of Sudanese life together. The Spectator could see all the layers of the street. The wall acted as a cinema screen, where the different speeds of the street where projected through shadows. The people of El Deam where helpful with the preparations. During the projection people gathered in front of the wall. In the beginning it was the speed which was the most important. People experimented with the lights and made their own choreography.  People gathered, and also participated. A couple of people played football, and tried things out with the different sizes of the shadows. Controlling the image was an element in this. Music had a role as well. During the evening the size of the crowd grew. They stayed and the wall transformed into a theatre.
