Noor Abed
Noor Abed, ‘Stars at Midday’, 2024
Published by Occasional Papers, Stars at Midday (2024) is a personal production diary in which artist and filmmaker Noor Abed compiles visual and poetic notes from the production phase of her film A Night We Held Between, filmed in Palestine in 2023 with family and friends. Like the film whose production it chronicles, the book interweaves narrative fragments, song and diaristic observations, creating a fusion of spontaneous and choreographed sequences of movement, with documentary and fictional elements. Through a choreography of bodies, sites, stories, and temporalities, Abed’s work prompts contemplation on the manifestations of social action and resistance in everyday life.
