MARE NOSTRUM II: secrets of the infinite sea
εικαστικά
Mare Nostrum II
Secrets of the Infinite Sea
hosted by Lighthouse Relief in collaboration with Refugee Week Greece
A Lecture Performance by Lily Abichahine
Lily Abichahine is a Lebanese lawyer and artist born in Beirut. After having worked for ten years as an international lawyer between Lebanon, France and The Netherlands, in 2018 she gave a shift to her career, engaging in the arts field. She obtained a BA and Masters in Performing Arts at Paris VIII University, and since 2021 she has mainly developed her artistic practice in the format of lecture-performances, exploring the intersectionality between law and art, as presented in her works Exquisite Corpse (2021); L'Étreinte (2022); Mare Nostrum/Our Sea (ongoing since 2021).
Her first work, Narrations Chorégraphiques: Fragments d’un Corps en Course, analyses running as an aesthetic gesture. Her artistic practice confronts legal issues with fictional narratives in a lecture-performance format, as in Exquisite Corpse (2021), which premiered in Frankfurt, Germany.
As part of her Mare Nostrum project (since 2021 – ongoing), she has been working between Mediterranean cities, contemplating their realities as the fundamental expression of their collective unconscious. She refers to their myths, reinterpreting them on stage, tracing connections between cities and underlining the invisible links that underpin the Mediterranean context.
Her last work, Abjad Hawwaz: How I Was Destroyed By a Mall Thrice (2022), an art installation addressing the issue of urban planning in Beirut in the context of post-war reconstruction, was exhibited at Beit Beirut.
In her multidisciplinary practice, she examines issues of genealogy, heritage and collective memory.
