Monira Al Qadiri’s single-channel video Behind the Sun (2013) opens at Digital Arts Resource Centre (DARC) Project Space in Ottawa. Drawing on the Kuwaiti artist’s firsthand experience of the Gulf War, the video juxtaposes amateur VHS footage of burning oil fields with audio of Islamic television program monologues. Qadiri recalls the carnage as the “classic image of a biblical apocalypse … the earth belching fire and the black scorched sky felt like a portrait of hell as it should be.”
