Khiam and Khiam second part, the two films presented in the installation, offer the same set-up: 6 former detainees, seated on a chair, speak while looking straight at the camera. This set-up, used in the first film, was meant to compensate the absence of images. In fact, until South Lebanon was freed in May 2000, it was impossible to go to Khiam camp, situated in the area occupied by Israel and its proxy militia, the army of South Lebanon. Much was heard about the camp, but no image was ever seen. It was impossible to represent the camp. Through the testimony of the six freed detainees, the film is a kind of experimentation on the narrative, on the way the image, through speech, can be built progressively on the principles of evocation and of latency. The six former detainees recall the camp and narrate how they managed to survive and, more important, to resist, to produce a needle, a pencil, a string of beads, a chess game… When the camp was dismantled in May 2000, one could go to Khiam. The camp was later turned into a museum. During the July 2006 war, the camp was totally destroyed. In 2007, we met up again with the six detainees we had filmed in 1999. The detention camp was no longer visible, turned into a heap of ruins. We asked the former detainees to react to the destruction of the camp in which they had been prisoners for so many years. They share with us their thoughts about memory, History, reconstitution, imagination and especially the idea to reconstruct Khiam as it had been. But is it possible to reconstruct a detention camp? How can one preserve the traces?
