ENTANGLED MATTERS 2.0 was a public art installation and exhibition that involved wrapping a building, severely impacted by the Beirut Port Explosion, in hand-felted wool produced in Lebanon. Felt, one of the oldest textile-making techniques, has historically served purposes such as shelter, clothing, and wound-healing. This installation explores the potential of this indigenous material to convey a message of repair and renewal following trauma, drawing parallels between the urban and human bodies.
The exhibition inside the wrapped building featured wall hangings, inflated soft sculptures that traversed the space like viscera, and a performance, all reflecting the complex interactions between humans and non-human entities. By engaging with the concepts of inside and outside, the project delves into the boundaries of trauma, exploring how it permeates both living and nonliving entities.
