From a summer routine; a swim with her father, Asma traces the journey of an urban space that cradled her childhood and that she sees disintegrating little by little into a post-apocalyptic space. Through "terrain du permis", the artist reflects on the harsh realities of her hometown, Sousse. The city has been hit not only by the abandonment of its seasonal dynamics, but also by a parasitic coldness of a careless government. It suffers physical disintegration and continues to absorb decisional toxins that seep deep into its land and sea. With an alarmed yet passive gaze, the artist sails through space in her happy footsteps, hoping to find a memory she could recognize from a time that seems so far away in this ghostly city.
