Dinah Diwan and Stéphanie Saadé. Place accounts adrift
Abstract
The aim of this article is to explore the long-term and small scale effect of home departure through the work of Dinah Diwan and Stéphanie Saadé. In an approach that moves away from great narratives of travel, the analysis of the pieces focuses on the impulse to remember, restore and traverse the native landscape, learnt from routine and reiteration. In this homecoming, art becomes a territory to explore other ways of inhabiting and being in the world in an era of intensified transit. Rather than the journey being art’s home, art itself emerges as a space to wander in and for stories of places to unfold. These stories of place take personal experience as a point of departure to challenge more conventional definitions and representations.
