Hadjithomas and Joreige have worked collaboratively in their practice to create a unique body of documentary and fictional work across installations, publications, films and video. In 1999, they co-wrote and directed a fictional feature titled Al bayt el zaher (Around the Pink House), a copy of which (weighing 35kg) went missing in Yemen on the tenth anniversary of the unification of North and South. Interested in the notion of ‘latency’, as it includes a sense of the secret, Hadjithomas and Joreige’s The Lost Film is an investigative and experimental work that explores not only the position of filmmakers such as themselves, but also the implications of representing and imaging the part of the world to which they belong.
