Prague PQ 2015

This year I was invited to show my work in the Prague PQ 2015, as one of 8 designers representing Canada.

This installation is a representation of a show I designed called "The Last 15 Seconds", a devised piece by MT Space based in Kitchener Ontario. The work constructs an imagined physical and verbal dialogue between Mustapha Akkad and Rawad Jassem Mohammad Abed, the suicide bomber who carried out the explosion that killed Akkad. The work also looks at the imagined lives and memories of both the victim and his killer at the time of the explosion. The scene I have illustrated presents the aftermath of the suicide bombing, what is left of the wedding celebration. The story incorporated the Amman bombings of November 9, 2005, an attack that killed 60 people and injured 115 others. It took place at 3 hotels, the bomb at the Radisoon exploded where a wedding was taking place. Mustapha Akkad and his daughter Rima were two of the victims.
