Summary[edit]

Description

Per the High Line Website:

"Rayyane Tabet’s (born 1983, Lebanon) work explores paradoxes in the built environment and its history.

For the High Line's 'Wanderlust', Tabet installs a new iteration of Steel Rings, a sculpture that replicates forty kilometers of the defunct Trans-Arabian Pipeline, a 753-mile-long American venture that transported oil by land from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon through Jordan, Syria, and the Golan Heights between 1950 and 1983.

Due to sociopolitical transformations of the region, the company was dissolved and the pipeline abandoned.

Today, it is the only physical object that crosses the borders of five countries in a region whose population is highly conscious of its demarcated boundaries."
