Growing up, I ate lunch with my maternal grandparents every other Sunday. They lived in a large, cold apartment and showed their affection in a restrained manner; so I spent most of my time sitting in a chair trying to behave.' This first sentence from Rayyane Tabet's performance 'Dear Victoria' marks the start of an artistic project and quest, based on a family story. A spy story? The book "Fragments" was designed by the artist as an installation, coupled with a performance, and is inspired by a family legend about Rayyane Tabet's great-grand-father. The book accompanies an exhibition which travelled from the Kunstverein in Hamburg to Beirut.
