Urban Errors
Video Projection
2025
Amira’s project explores the city as a fractured body, where movement becomes both survival and resistance in a world of gentrification, conflict, and shifting borders. This work merges urban dance, glitch aesthetics, and digital video to examine the invisible lives inscribed in Tunis’s urban landscapes.
Her artwork is grounded in fieldwork with Tunisian street dancers, whose bodies navigate and reclaim public spaces often shaped by marginality and erasure. Their gestures, spontaneous, coded, and intensely situated, are recorded and reinterpreted through digital glitch techniques that introduce intentional “errors” into video footage. These errors act not as technical faults, but as poetic metaphors for memory loss, spatial disconnection, and the uneven flows of visibility in contemporary cities.
Through this process, the glitch becomes a meeting point between corporeality and urban decay , a space where the body fractures, distorts, reconfigures. The resulting videos and digital collages foreground the tension between visibility and erasure, questioning who gets to move freely, who remains trapped, and who fades into the pixelated noise of development.
