Mona Hatoum Measures of
Disatnce (1988)
This videotape is perhaps the
most touching of Mona Hatoum's
artistic statement in which
she examines her position as
an exiled female artist. The
author's voice translates
letters of her mother from
Arab into English, represented
visually as a texture of
calligraphy over the texture
of her body and skin.
Measuring a multitude of
distances/oppositions or
differences between home and
exile, writing and reading,
reading and translating,
mother and daughter,
autobiography and artistic
invention.
