Words can create a verbal decor as though they had no power to act on reality. In the former synagogue, the work of Hussein Nassereddine deploys other kinds of decors: those on which singers and poets performed in the Arab World in the last century. The artist devises these spaces as time capsules, period rooms that mimic stages.

The sculptures reproduced by Nassereddine are inspired by archaeological artefacts once used as scenographic elements on television sets, while video clips intertwine the lyrics of singers with those of the contemporary artist. In both installations, fire, symbolizing a new beginning,marks the transition from the past to the present, in a cyclic story when the singers voices and words echoes the current events of the world.
