and the moon (…)
Video, photography, sound
2019
 
“and the moon (…) looks at times like an infinite animal landscape. The work explores ideas of universal connectedness and pre-form states, where boundaries between beings and environments dissolve, shifting fixed notions of self and matter.
 
Inspired by animal behaviours and liminal spaces, the work questions perceptions of presence and time, and explores the textural possibilities of sound and vision.”

and the moon (…) was presented as part of the exhibition Mother Mercury (Art Night Associates 2019), curated by Emily Butler, in Walthamstow, London, UK.
 
Mother Mercury celebrated the fleeting flows of energy resulting from new life, challenging stereotypical views about parenthood. It brought together artists whose work tests the boundaries of language and power structures, with their practices radically shifted through raising children.
 
Curated by Emily Butler – curator, writer, translator and parent – Mahera and Mohammad Abu Ghazaleh Curator at Whitechapel Gallery, London. Her area of curatorial research is in translation, in the work of artists who employ different languages (visual and linguistic), transposing from one to another. She is interested in the commonalities, idiosyncrasies and the gaps between languages, cultures and codes.
