In Abdulla Al-Othman’s sound and video installation Sound of The Desert (2018) the desert landscape takes on a new meaning. Al-Othman recorded a performance while he was listening to the sound of the desert at various moments and from five different locations. The harsh beauty of the desert seems to continue infinitely without much variation and yet through this work Al-Othman shows how the formation of the desert, a natural space, transforms constantly.
