Hell Flower (2014). Installation view
In May 2012 a woman enters an old abandoned colonial hotel next to Tahrir Square. Shelter and battleground, the past and the haunting social forces, where one space transforms another, the wandering from room to room, the looking and being looked at, a revolution and a constant search for what needs to be exorcised in order for it to grow.
The Liberation Of Squares is a split-screen projection with sound, a screen-work as well as a projection on fuschia-colored fabric. The works are seen as video-sculptures and the immersive sounds emanating from the works encapsulate the viewers as they wander the space, embodying the woman. Thus, as we follow the woman from room to room, the mental and physicality of the space interchange.
