Ashkal Alwan
The image of a flying man, the first one in the Give Me a Body Then performance, by Ali Cherri, is featured on the Website of the Home Works III Forum, promoted in November 2005 by the Ashkal Alwan—Lebanese Association for Plastic Arts, Beirut. Directed by Christine Tohme, the event discusses artistic practices in the Arab World.

Limp Bodies
Photomontages created by Cherri for Rabih Mroué’s performance combine images of Sigmund Freud and of Lebanese authorities, in order to discuss the domesticating effect of power on intellectuals.
