Synopsis
Cities are like human beings, with a body made of streets and buildings, and with its inhabitants at the core of its soul. Cities are influenced by its surrounding and it affect its people in return. This similarity creates an interactive relationship that manifests itself in various forms, among which: anxiety.
This organism, the city, is anxious as a result of the state of hopelessness that our world is experiencing.
As times change, Arab cities changed, they lost their souls. The coffee shops that we used to frequent to changed; the streets, the buildings, people and their conceptions, everything changed and lost its spontaneity and vivacity.
They’ve become pale and colorless like a destroyed dead body…
We venture through three different cases of anxiety from Lebanon, Baghdad, and Cairo to live their reality as anxious cities.
