Energy Rituals. 2007
Video

In his video Energy Rituals Anas Al-Shaikh contemplates a rainy scene in winter with its harmony of city lights and virgin nature during one of his visits to Muscat, evoking Theodor Adorno's thoughts about the failure of the rational enlightenment to bring happiness and rejoice to mankind in modern times, and its inability to "fulfill its promises in controlling nature and liberating humans from shackles of myth, wars, fear, injustice, ignorance, poverty, and epidemics," as the artist writes.
