About Interrupted Futures

Interrupted Futures is an installation by Ramallah-based artist Shuruq Harb, presented in the lower gallery at Kunstnernes Hus. Centered on the film Al-Mashrou’, the work brings a site in Palestine into dialogue with the local context of Oslo. Earth-toned surfaces reference the palette of Palestine, while swings suspended from the ceiling destabilize the viewer’s physical and perceptual vantage point.
