allah project is a study about the use of arabic religious terms and formulations specifically in lebanon. In this process i intend to show how the use of these terms is altered in signification by the speaker according to the social context. with live sounds and chanting I write expressions repetitively on various mediums. this is an exploration of societies where religions and traditions are prevalent through the deconstruction of certain terms used daily. with these expressions shattered, i aim to uncover what lays behind them: communities that are organised around a highly controlling and patriarchal system.
