MEMORY PRISM
Immersive show
October 2025 - TakeOver Beirut
Memory Prism is an immersive installation that transforms the artist’s archive into a refracted stream of consciousness. Sketches, experiments, thought fragments, and studio traces—usually hidden from public view—become a living alchemical chamber where process material shifts between revelation and concealment. Merging light, projection, and sound, the work invites viewers into an intimate ritual of attention: an encounter with the artist’s inner architectures of memory, perception, transformation and creation.
Drawing from over a decade of Ghina Sabra’s multidisciplinary practice—spanning
painting, architecture, lighting, installation and visual art—the
exhibition elevates unfinished, unpublished, and “discarded” works into a
dynamic record of transformation. In dialogue with sonic fragments from
sound designer and award winning field recordist Alex Mitri, the main
installation unfolds as a perceptual performance where both archives
converge. What emerges is the magic of the interaction itself: a dance
of resonance, dissonance, accident, play, and discovery across senses.
The installation is both a poetic system and a technical organism — a
choreography of art, light, sound, and code that translates emotion into
motion, and thought into vibration. Fragments of my own reflections —
written notes, sketches, and inner dialogues that trace the process of
creation itself are merged into the projections.Through this interlacing
of material, sound, data, Memory Prism becomes a sensorial meditation on
creative consciousness, and an exploration of the thresholds between man
machine and medium.
