The exhibition brings together two moving image works that return to the city of Mosul through home videos, field recordings and community archives. "Mouthwash" (2014), the artist’s first moving image work, is revisited here in a new edit. Made from phone footage and voice messages received during the first months of the ISIS siege of Mosul, the work becomes a diary whose buried meanings continue to surface over time.

Presented on a loop, "Mouthwash" is accompanied by a new work, "A Route to the Image" (2026), which begins with the sound of the Tigris River as a gesture of washing away and release. It then moves into a search through family and community archives for images of women gathered by the water, opening onto stories of labour and encounters with mythical creatures.
