Blending ambiguous but evocative images of a natural world mediated by culture, documentary footage of violence in Palestine, and staged performances, Alsharif complicates the essentialist image of the Middle East in the popular imagination of the West. We Began by Measuring Distance explores an ultimate disenchantment with facts when the visual fails to communicate the tragic.
