.died
A loving man who broke my heart. Helooked
so young and optimistic once.
He was my hero; he was loving, and
he made me laugh. I am my father’s
daughter in so many ways. He was in
love and made promises he couldn't
keep. I understood his dilemma. He
never joined us. He tried, but did he
try hard enough? Complete disbelief,
frustration and deep anger. When
politics, religion, when cultures clash,
it's the ordinary family that pays the
price. He wrote to me of his anguish
and loneliness, and of his memories of
us as though we had all died. He feels
deserted by us and we feel deserted by
.him
أثناء التحضير لغزو العراق يف عام 2003،
شرعت جنان يف إنتاج العمل املعنون «
جماليات االختفاء:‏ أرض بال بشر«‏ بعد أن
راودها شعور ب ‏)ديجاڤو(،‏ وهو ما يعني
بالعربية:‏ وهم ما مت رؤيته سابقاً،‏ إذ أنه أحد
تلك احلاالت الشاذة التي تتعرض لها الذاكرة
أحيانا.‏ يومها كانت ذات أربعة عشر ربيعاً،‏
حني انتقلت من العراق إلى لندن بعد أن حملت
يف ذاكرتها الكثير،‏ لكنها لم تتمكن من مشاهدة
عاصفة الصحراء،‏ كما لم تشاهد حرب
اخلليج التي قبلها إال من على شاشات القنوات
الغربية كأي مواطن غربي آخر.‏ استفزتها تلك
التقارير اإلعالمية النمطية االستشراقية التي
حتمل االنطباعات الغربية التي تعود يف حقيقة
األمر إلى مفاهيم القرن التاسع عشر والتي
تصور العرب كمتخلفني ومتوحشني يفتقرون
للثقافة،‏ وهو ما حتدثت عنه جنان العاني
وكررته يف معظم لقاءاتها،‏ األمر الذي دفعها
إلى بدء التحقيق ومتابعة األحداث التي لم يكن
لها توثيق مرئي،‏ وال أدلة صارمة،‏ وإمنا أدلة
شفوية أو مكتوبة الغير،‏ وراحت تبحث عن
الوجه اآلخر،‏ الغائب.‏
وقد بحثت يف املدونات،‏ ويف أرشيفات التاريخ
الشفوي،‏ ومن نصوص محاكمات جرائم
احلرب،‏ كما فحصت املقابالت التي أجراها
باحثون آخرون يف امليدان،‏ ومن بينهم علماء
األنثروبولوجيا وعلماء االجتماع،‏ الذين
عملوا مع الناجني من القتل اجلماعي،‏ ثم
اعتمدت فيما بعد،‏ بعضاً‏ مما عثرت عليه
من التسجيالت الصوتية التي تنسجم مع
تلك الصور التي التقطتها للمناظر الطبيعية
يف الشرق األوسط.‏ وعلى عكس ما حدث يف
العمل ‏»مواقع الظل 1 و 2«، كانت اخللفيات
الصوتية تتنقل بني الهادئة التي توحي
بالسالم،‏ واملتوترة التي توحي باخلالف
والعنف،‏ وال تنسجم مع طبيعة الصور
