Unidee Projects
Waiting for water is an installation of a 15x15 metres large
piece of black fabric that will be hung across the river Cervo in Biella.
The work is a comment on the water conflict and the lack of water in Israel
and Palestine and other parts of the world. This piece is one step in
a larger project that will unfold following the general course of any
river and approach issues like pollution, dams and filtration, as they
come along. The piece of fabric will appear, because of its size and colour,
as something “shocking” and unfamiliar, blocking the view
upstream. After the end of the exhibition the fabric will be recycled
and made into a collection of clothes, all carrying the message of the
urgent water issue.
The Little Black Dress... Can Fly is the continuation of a work
Walid first presented in 2003. The colour black represents his private
state of mind at the time and the general local situation in Palestine,
connoting sadness and depression but also power. The installation is a
metamorphosis of the initial work and includes two dressmaker's mannequins,
an adult and a child, reflecting the situation from the people's point
of view.
