Communicating on the streets was rather difficult for me when I visited Syria. Men would speak mainly to my husband, women wouldn’t even look at me and children would avoid me. Being a loud person by nature, who communicates easily and has fun with people, this was difficult to bare. I felt like a “monster”. Maybe the solution is to become a real one? *CONCEPT/PERFORMANCE: Marta Pisco; CAMERA/EDIT: Zoot Derks; ALEPPO 2008*
