Like a structure, we begin by laying down the foundations.
We will then experience colors, textures, and tastes that remind us of the ephemeral beauty of nature, and its integral role in creating balance.
This evening will narrate the relationship between the striking aesthetic of Brutalism Architecture and Nature’s ability to find its place within.

A pop-dinner inspired by the universe of one of the most significant artists and empowering women of the 20th century – Frida Kahlo
During Art Week 2018, INKED will conceptualize through a food experience and 360° multimedia art installation the joyful yet dramatic and indomitable spirit of Frida Kahlo.
The experience will take you in a three-dimensional and immersive culinary journey inspired by the Artist; from her home and sanctuary known as the “caza azul” to her love for the varying shades of cultures which Mexico boasts.
In collaboration with flora&faunavisions and Neumann & Müller Event Technology, LA CASA AZUL will showcase INSIDEOUT by flora&faunavisions. The multimedia art installation was revealed during the Triennale der Photographie in Hamburg, Vienna Design Week, and in Paris at the Palais de Tokyo. It is today taking place at INKED as part of Art Dubai 2018.

LK Eudemonia - Spring 2019 Collection
©2019 Lara Khoury - All Rights reserved
Curated experience created and organized by Das Scharf.
Creative concept, Event Design, Graphic Communication, Event Management & On-site Coordination by Das Scharf.
Referencing a central concept in Aristotelian philosophy, the Eudemonia collection prompts a refresher on human purpose and pursuit in order to propel society towards living authentically. The conception of Eudemonia alleges personal excellence and lasting happiness to be mankind’s purpose, the attainment of which requires cultivation of personal strength and contribution to the greater good.
Debuting in the still raw surrounds of the dramatic Quasar Tower, masterminded by architect Bernard Khoury, a selection of pieces from Eudemonia are styled upon a series of white mannequins in a curated guest experience.
Mannequin faces are covered by theatrical floral masks, creations of Sybil Layous, symbolizing the attractive but abnormal embellishments used to disguise oneself. Finally, the venue’s unfinished floor and walls compel us to revisit our own bare foundations, our blank slate from which virtuous construction should start.

Shame on Us by Das Scharf & 21dB
In collaboration with
Mó, Greener on the other side & Loopstache.
Frustrated with the current state of the planet, Das Scharf and 21dB join forces to set up a collaborative installation that addresses the shame and silencing surrounding the harm humans inflict on nature and upon themselves.
The installation experience is set to take the visitor on an audiovisual representation as it attempts to portray how the planet is racked in a sphere of exploitation, nuisance and dramatic human-made episodes.
SHAME ON US wishes to provoke and forcefully drag the visitors into a confrontation with nature and themselves.
1- THE SHAMING SPACE:
The pillory was chosen for what it represents; it is a powerful device in which offenders were formerly exposed to public humiliation, degradation and abuse. The 4 minute video projection is divided into 3 acts. It attempts to shed the light on the chronological and evolutionary process that made us who we are today.
Act 1 - The butterfly effect ( 2.5 millions of years ago ):
A single small human gesture changed the course of the planet and irreversibly broke the harmony between man and nature; introduction of tools, migration, fire, agriculture and language.
Act 2 - The brouhaha ( Late 1800s onwards ):
The video sets a glance at how the modern industrial and high tech era are stopping evolution and accelerating the destruction of the planet at unfathomable speed. It is the ultimate scream from a species that will be responsible for its own demise.
Act 3 - Mirror of shame ( present ):
The pilloried visitors will see their own face reflected on the floor.It is the moment when they will be faced with the mirror of introspection.
2 - THE MEDITATIVE SPACE:
It is a space designed for the visitors to digest the experience they just went through.Swings are chosen because they trigger memories, they are the perfect tool for sensory integration. Each of the five audio swings aim to help the visitor relax, understand, ponder, and meditate.

The intricacies of a woman’s heart are for the few. Who is iolanda? Dalida’s alter ego, or is the reverse true? Who led to the demise of the other, and whose heart bled through? #BecauseAWomansHeartIsHerOwn
-
Our fashion show aimed to show the dichotomy within Dalida’s persona, one that resonates with each and every one of us. The strong versus the weak. The emotional versus the cold. The heart versus the mind. The love versus the hate.
The fashion show was designed as an interactive performance with talented actors, a sound installation and composition by 21dB in the gardens of Antwork.

One of the world’s favorite outdoor activities, picnicking is a wonderful way to inspire presence and community. There are a lot of fun ways to eat, but few things triumph the simplicity of laying out a blanket and settling into urban nature with your favorite family & friends and a basket of tailor-made joy.
A good picnic only requires three quality ingredients: good people, tasty food, and a solid location. Nothing better than a Picnic at the Promenade.
Find Joy in the Ordinary.
SETUP RATIONALE
The Picnic at the Promenade temporary setup taking place from October 2017 to February 2018 revolves around the concept of Parklets & Placemaking. Placemaking capitalizes on a local community's assets and inspiration, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and well being. In order to cultivate EMAAR’s vision of a creative urban culture, the overall look & feel of the promenade is focused on a community-driven, dynamic, sociable and collaborative space.

A tribute to the video artist Nam June Paik, titled Perceiving Everyday Life through a Dead TV. This exhibition evolves around the world of Television through the eyes of various Television monitors that serve as projection screens where a new form of mapping is introduced. This exhibition refers to Mood-Art, a dream that the artist Paik had where sound and images are interraleted in their functions. How can we transmit such audio impressions extracted from everyday life from a simple radio add to a supermarket announcement to a visual stimuli in moving colors and shapes? In reflecting the constant TV-Attack such as News and Advertising, we introduce in our video work a new form of perceiving and interpreting everyday life.Our images , mainly based on reality material, are manipulated in their position, shape and form; By projecting constant content through various interfaces, we overwhelm our public with the amount of visual information,creating a kaleidoscopic effect.Our viewer is unable to recognize the principle of order and is drowned in a world of visual chaos. Our visuals reflect a storytelling chaos where our viewer would face a so-called Television Experience; By transforming reality, this exhibition underlines the impact of the information given to us everyday and how they can serve to reflect a world of living colors and motions.

Q. Why Beirut—Berlin?
A. Berlin and Beirut are both vibrant cities with long and provocative histories, including a series of golden ages, epic drama and inspiring renaissances. Beirut & Berlin have embarked on their own process of reconstruction and renaissance. Beirut is ready to assume its place on the world stage & is more than a potential point of comparison;
it is an ideal role model, and a sister city.

OFF THE WALL : Master in Visual Communication
Danish Design School - Copenhagen, Denmark 2010
Off the Wall is a photography book that functions like a visual city guide for Berlin, Germany from a non touristic point of view.
From an eccentric and unconventional approach, the book guides the viewer through personal snapshots of a complete OUTSIDER who documents the city, a designer who translates his VISUAL EXPERIENCE through photographs and graphic design.
This book reflects the first contact of any oustider to a new city. There’s a continuous message between a sender[the city] and a receiver [ An outsider, A local ]. When a designer encounters a new field of communication ,he OBSERVES,FILTERS and RECORDS.
This method provides him with a VISUAL FRAMEWORK from which he could establish a new way of understanding a city and its characteristics, and new design solutions to reflect and translate its physical appearance and its graphical components.
