Who we are today; citizens of Beirut, has nothing to do with whom we were before the 4th of August, 2020, at 18h08mn.

Beirut is trying to recover from an apocalyptic blast. A blast that no one can ignore or turn a blind eye to.
As its consequences are far too violent. Beirut has lived through many wars and attacks, got destroyed several times and yet this blast took things to a whole different level.
Our city’s history eradicated, along with its fabrics and stories.
All that make us and define each one of us simply vanished.

Memories ripped away in 38 seconds.

Acknowledging the 38 seconds. stretching 38 seconds over 120 hours: 120 nails, 5 gridded plates, each plate nailed 24 times, according to a grid. Meticulously and very accurately. from full expansion to maximum reduction.
