The Time Is Out Of Joint

The Time Is Out Of Joint is a multi-space project; this two-volume publication is one of its manifestations that adopt spatial and temporal strategies inspired by the idea of time as a fluid space and space as frozen time. Co-edited by Tarek Abou El Fetouh and Ala Younis, and with many texts translated to English or Arabic for the first time, this bi-lingual publication is structured in four chapters: BAGHDAD, TBC, CHINA and EQUATOR. These chapters are concepts extended from the contexts of three events that are re- or pre-enacted in an exhibition project that took place in Beirut, Sharjah and Gwangju.
