Exile is Hard Work- Aissa Deebi (exhibition catalogue, 2017)

This catalogue presents two bodies of work by Aissa Deebi: The Trial (2013) and Motherland (2016). The projects were previously conceived for biennials: The Trial for the 2013 Venice Biennale and Motherland for the 2016 Çanakkale Biennale. By bringing together these two works, this exhibition and the catalogue under the same name created a dialogue between their themes, including revolution and exile, but also raised a number of issues related to their original context in international exhibitions where national identity plays a particular role.
