Projection

Inass Yassin’s “Projection” is a public intervention originated as part of a body of work that
examines modernity and the transformation of urban space and the architecture of the city
of Ramallah.
The work is a public invitation for witnessing the downfall of the building of Al-Waleed Cinema.
“Projection” examines the cinema and its multilayered social history, tracing back the past
through exploring narratives and visual icons from posters, ornamentations, architecture,
projection machines, and other objects.
The process of recent urban transformations in Palestinian urban centers have lead to a rapid
erasure of the intimacy of cities, their social histories and memories of the past as represented
in the architectural heritage. With its current worn structure and unnoticed damaged sign,
Al-Waleed Cinema reflects the fragility of a derelict urban structure that still holds its iconism
through its notorious name while the excavation work for its renewal is nevertheless,
progressing very close to its foundations. “Projection” stages critically the schism between
the glorious history of Al-Waleed Cinema and the temporality and distortion of a live projection
within its present demolished architecture.
