In this work at Beit Beirut, Kassem’s visitable room blurs the line between a dental clinic and an art installation. The space is activated by the visitor’s heat emissions, reflected onto a thermal plate and monitored through the screen of a framed thermal camera. The dialogue between the viewer’s movement and the silent objects on display — including seven teeth extracted by the artist, whose cavities echo the bullet marks in the building’s walls, placed on a tile from a recently destroyed home in Tyre (South Lebanon) struck by an Israeli air raid — unfolds alongside abstract paintings and heat-sensitive textures, a sculpture titled “You kept thinking it was a fish”, and the digital photograph“6:07 PM,” referencing the moment and location where the artist was underwater when the Beirut port exploded on August 4, 2020. Together, these elements create an open site for embodied perception and mental connection. Near the exit, a Black Letter titled“Night Visit, Berlin–Beirut”— a collaboration between Cathy Jardon and Abdallah Kassem — offers, like a four-hands piano piece, a path and digression of thoughts from inside the artist’s studio.
