In this work composed of six fragments, distance is seen as a series of pauses in movements. How far can we go to mute the rumbles of war ? What reverberates in one’s body as it moves away from the epicenter? The sound composition by Radwan Ghazi Moumneh explores both the vibrations and the effect movement has on these vibrations. We return to the fog is a visual and sonic iteration of Haytham El Wardany’s theory on citation: a tool used by creatures in fables to speak in times where imminent danger renders them speechless.
a project by the trio Kinda Hassan, Racha Baroud & Carine Doumit
in collaboration
with Christian Sebille - GMEM
will be opening at the festival Chroniques in Marseille in October 2026
Elegy of a Disappearance is a stage performance based on a sound composition, namely an augmented Hörspeil. The performative, visual and scenic elements are reared around the sound material, which holds the leading role and explores the question of disappearance within the geographical context of the Mediterranean, both in terms of bodies and territories.
solas y juntas
a conversation between Carine Doumit and Sofía Velázquez | ongoing since 2021
solas y juntas is an ongoing conversation about childhood, war and poetry, traveling back and forth between Lebanon and Peru, between fantasy and the real world. It is based on a constellation of letters which translate into film, video works, short stories, and other potential creative forms.
Fulgor or the book of children
in development since 2021
with contributions by Daniel Kupferberg, Amel Alzaout, Liwaa Yazji, Sofía Velázquez, among others
Fulgor or the book of children project is a publication centered around childhood, or rather chidlhoodness (enfanceté in French), a time and place of active mystery. A series of texts spanning from children’s stories to poems, essays and conversations, the project is developed in collaboration with writers, researchers and artists.
The protagonists in Fulgor or the book of children short stories are “children”. They live in villages and cities subjected to uncertainty and violence, yet they have developed faculties which enable them to confront past, present and future disruptions. Although they do not “know” each other, a fog named Fulgor connects them and transforms the spaces which they inhabit or traverse.

The Camelia Committee [مجموعة في الكاميليا] came together in March of 2020 in Beirut. Named after the experimental TV series by filmmaker Mohamad Soueid انا في الكاميليا, the group develops ways in which image, text, sound and voice come together in various mediums and forms. Mira Adoumier (filmmaker, visual artist and researcher), Carine Doumit (film editor, writer and researcher) and Nour Ouayda (filmmaker and film programmer) have worked together on a series of conversations around collective work, the collective exhibition At the Edge of the Forest, a Garden, and the collective performance one sea, three seas. They continue to collaborate on films, video installations and film programs, among other projects.
Les épargnés / The Spared Ones
short story | written in French with English adaptation, with poems in Arabic by Liwaa Yazji | 2014
published by Ashkal Alwan, The Lebanese Association for Plastic Arts in Beirut
as part of the HomeWorks VII; A Forum on Cultural Practices
Translating gestures of montage, this publication weaves different literary forms (prose, poetry, script), introducing images, footnotes and quotation as elements of the narration, and weaving multiple voices and storylines. The short story evokes strange encounters made in Beirut around the year 2013: a fearless pathologist called L., an ageless child called N., a couple of inseparable stray dogs, and a woman-insect.
