Mariam Ghani
A Brief History of Collapses
2011-2012
Two channel HD video installation, color, sound, 22 min, dimensions variable

Mariam Ghani found that the Friedricianum Museum in Kassel, Germany has architectural similarity to the palace Dar ul-Aman in Kabul, Afghanistan. The ruined Dar ul-Aman Palace, located on the periphery of the capital city of Afghanistan. The construction of Amanullah’s new city of Dar ul-Aman represented a radical break with traditional building design, materials, and techniques. While many Germans collaborated on the project, it was funded entirely by Afghan resources, without international assistance, since Amnullah’s reign represents the only period in Afghan history when the country subsisted without foreign aid. In “A Brief History of Collapses” (2012) she described these two buildings with two video channels in relation to architectural layout and details, but each represents its own narratives. Over the similarities and differences of architectural images, it can be shared with an aesthetic evidence of the collapse and restoration based on their historical, political and social stories.
