<div dir="ltr"><div>Tonight I would like to invite you to view a short video work titled <i>There, before, </i>2014. A droning camera surveys landscape formations finding points of depth on the surface of the image. A meteorite named Akaba, which fell near Ma’an, Jordan in 1949, reveals the story. There, before opens with an anecdote inspired by the proto-science fiction narrative, Awaj bin Anfaq written by the thirteenth century thinker Zakariya Al-Qazwini, about a being that came to earth from a distant planet. The film unfolds into a contemplative sequence of associations and subjunctive fragments on climate, resources, and geologic time in connection with the Anthropocene age of human impact.</div><div><br></div><div>You can view the video here:</div><div><a href="http://www.ibraaz.org/projects/84">http://www.ibraaz.org/projects/84</a> </div><div><br></div><div><div>ISAK BERBIC</div><div><i>There, before,</i> 2014</div><div>Digitized color film, computer-generated imagery</div><div>4K 60p video, with sound, color</div><div>Runtime: 13 minutes</div></div><div><div class="" title="Page 1"><div class=""><div class="">
