'منفي' (exile) is a hauntological deconstruction of the work of the palestinian resistance poet Izz al-Din Manasirah, hybridised with some of Cerpintxt’s poetry exploring a form of sonic activism against the weaponisation of love in Egypt. Where misogyny is a cultivated form of political distraction, intergenerational ideological mutations perpetuate a hypernormalized limbo of collective detachment from fragility. To interfere with these accumulative distortions, she stitches chopped up fragments of what might have been, as prosthetic sentiments.  The piece is also an audiovisual reinterpretation permutating found footage and clips from Rebecca Horn, Sergei Parajanov and Maya Deren’s work to mirror a loosely narrated projection of the audible materiality of this terrain of voices.
