Progress is a video piece that was made in collaboration with Samir Chadli, Lara Jacoski and Andrew Sawyer, and which hopes to draw attention to urban, cultural and environmental changes in Morocco.
Working with discarded construction material and found pieces of traditional Moroccan tiles, this work addresses issues related to what is gained and what is lost through economic development and how developing countries can face the challenges of growth and changes of identity. This is synthesised in the work through a choice of colours, pace, sound and themes.
Note: the sound features street recordings which are inteligible and not possible to caption.
