註釋This latest work by the London-based French/Algerian artist Zineb Sedira is a series of photographs and a two-screen video projection, shot in and around the port of Algiers The exhibition contrasts Sedira?s re-encounter with the sights and sounds of Algiers with an awareness that while she, like other people from France, is enjoying her return to the city, some of its other residents, disenchanted young men in particular, often dream of escape across the water to Europe. The title Saphir (French for sapphire) reflects this, evoking not only the pure maritime light typical of Algiers, but also those flickering glimmers on the horizon that symbolise people?s dreams and aspirations. In Arabic, the word safir also means ambassador? a person who travels between different places, the representative of one country on the soil of another.
