Once there was and once there was not: in Arabic, the sentence which begins fairy tales hangs in the balance between existence and non-existence: it is both these things together. The piece was conceived as a collaboration with writer Zeyn Joukhadar who, in his debut novel The Map of Salt and Stars, uses the sentence to start the fairy tale timeline of his book. The light sign introduced the show, which is named after the artwork.
