This exhibition has been POSTPONED due to the recent lockdown. Please check back for further updates. 

In this series Mohamed Ezz Monem explores the tension between reverence and the profane by creating a manifold portrait of Mohamed appropriated from Egyptian cinema. Highlighting the word ‘Mohamed’ from the opening credits of films, Monem obscures original film stills through a combination of analog and digital processes to create an ambiguous connection between the name and scenes captured in the background.
