in the guise of the commonplace brings together moving-image works by Glasgow-based artist Hannan Jones and artists Mira Adoumier and Carine Doumit from the Beirut-formed collective The Camelia Committee. Two newly commissioned works reflect on the resonances between their practices, brought together over the last year in tandem through conversation and exchange.

Formed in Beirut, The Camelia Committee (Mira Adoumier, Carine Doumit, and Nour Ouayda) explores relationships between image, text, voice, and sound through filmmaking, film programming, and writing. Glasgow-based artist Hannan Jones’s research-led practice moves across sound, sculpture, and moving image to examine hybridity and presence. Both practices are grounded in attunement, an attention to absences and residues.

Working at geographical, temporal and psychic edges, the works attend to low-level-signals - murmurs, vibrations, and traces - through which histories leak and circulate. These forms of resonance register what cannot be declared outright, allowing meaning to emerge through return rather than resolution.
