The Donnaregina Foundation for Contemporary Arts - Madre Museum presents to the public More Spilled Blood Than Drinkable Water by Panos Aprahamian, winner of the Han Nefkens Foundation - Museu Tàpies Video Art Production 2024 award, which made the production of this work possible. 
More Spilled Blood Than Drinkable Water (2025) is the third and final chapter of the thematic triptych informally known as the Karantina Trilogy. All three short films take place inside or around Karantina, the ancient quarantine district of Beirut, one of the most polluted areas of the city due to its proximity to the port, a waste sorting plant, and a notorious slaughterhouse now closed.
In the film, the narrator, a paranormal investigator, recounts her contemplative journey along the course of the river as a descent into the underground world, addressing chemical compounds, spectral echoes, foul odors, and invisible presences inhabiting a dystopian landscape of flows and stagnations. As the camera captures the emergences and immersions of the river water, it glimpses deteriorating ecologies and the trembling reflections of industrial infrastructures, while the narration weaves historical chronologies in a non-linear sequence.

Blending documentary realism, abstract sequences, and fictional genres, the work slowly delves into the deep layers of pain of a wounded landscape, inhabited by the spirits of countless entities, human and non-human, who have lost their lives there. Transforming the body of water into a portal to intangible worlds and into an uneasy mirror of the present, Aprahamian's work reflects and testifies to the consequences of violence, historical trauma, and environmental degradation.
