Interested in creating spatial installations that deconstruct socio-political narratives, Azza Zein finds in the cemetery a liminal space capturing the hybridity and dissolution of a migrant identity. Transitions from one place to the next become lines drawn, cut and weaved from Google maps into masks: Rituals are performed. Territories are stacked.  Masks are buried and passages are outlined. In a line of flight, she dis-appears and escapes.
