‘The intense smell of burned rusted metal and plastic, ashes and smoke filled the air in a ruin; death still, evokes the sense of devastation and massive destruction. Mass of twisted metal pilled up in a disintegrated state of deformation resembling a memorial of considerable sizes in a state of decay.’ Photographs and found objects in this exhibition are the result of the four-month excursion of Dariush Zandi and Shaqayeq Arabi at the burnt site of an explosion, in Al Qouz, Dubai in early 2008. Open from 9am to 7 pm, except Fridays.
