Written To Not Remain
Written To Not Remain is based on a visual investigation looking into the acts of writing on the walls across post-revolution Libya. She positions collective statements as ephemeral evidence of contemporary and historical dialogue, social commentary, war correspondences, or often silent protests.
In this video work combining archival footage and digital acts made in a virtual reality simulation, Barnosa translates and transmits a photo archive she began collecting in 2019. Serving as testimonies on the western-led manufactured wars in Libya following the Arab Spring in 2011, and elaborating on a selection from over 200 images of writings, as source materials alongside a text recitation.
