“Object and space take on a new meaning in this visual piece for Sole DXB 2017, when a mystery object appears down alleyways of Al Rigga’s iconic China Sea restaurant, a Deira petrol
station perfectly preserved in a ‘90s Gulf chic and even the suburban outskirts of the Al Qudra desert,” says Amirah Tajdin, director, Sole DXB. “Thus, through a series of surreal juxtaposition, the viewer is transported across Dubai, following the zen like journey of what seems to be a vending machine.”Sole DXB will take place Dec 7-9 in Dubai.
