On Photography People and Modern Times, 2010, was commissioned by Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art for its inaugural exhibition Told Untold Retold, curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath. @sbardaouil @till.fellrath Sixteen years later, the work returns to Mathaf, Doha, in its most complete, most resolved form: a generous space with a two-channel video projected floor to ceiling, accompanied by 15 interviews on screens of varying formats, hung at different heights. It is a conversation with photography and with modern times. It is also a display of my research into the craft of making pictures, and into a modernity desired, sometimes missed, across the Mashreq. The piece reflects on photograph preservation, and equally on video as a research tool. Most of those interviewed are no longer with us. What remains is / I hope / a faithful record — of their stories, dreams, anecdotes, and their passion for photographs: those objects of desire that accompany us through life. It is also a description of an important part of the collection now withheld by the @arabimagefoundation . As a documentary piece exploded into the gallery space, it may read as dense. For historians and photograph lovers, it may be a pleasure. Thank you @zeinaarida @arthurdebsi @emirhanaltuner @baris_dogrusoz @mathafmodern.en and @azjazz for the documentation @sfeirsemlergallery @thomasdanegallery @kurimanzutto #photography #photographyinthemiddleeast #photographichistory #history #videoinstallation

“Yok Olmayı Reddeden Her Şey”, Kral Tabnit’in lahdinin üzerini örten ve Osman Hamdi Bey’in, Sayda Nekropolü’nde 1887’de yürüttüğü kazı çalışmaları esnasında parçalatmak durumunda kaldığı yekpare devasa taştan yola çıkarak, bizleri, bu kayıp nesneyi Osman Hamdi Bey’in yaptığı eskizine dayanarak orijinal haline döndürmeye davet eder. Eser, bu yapının nasıl asılıp yerin 12 metre altına taşınmış olabildiğine dair tarihî bir olasılığı canlı tutar.

This work entertains a historical possibility as to how this structure might have been suspended and transported down 12 metres below the earth.

Ceramics break. It’s their brittle nature. But humans break too – more emotionally than physically. While our bodies endure physical stress, our emotional system is wired in such a way that a word could break us.

Atlante in Italian refers to both Atlas and The Atlantic Ocean. But Atlante also refers to a body of work produced by Italian photographer and artist Luigi Ghirri in 1973. This title has inspired a collective exhibition on mapping and cartography as used or addressed by artists, curated by @james.lingwood @thomasdanegallery in Naples, including a set of works by Ghirri, Claudio Parmigiani, Anri Sala, Teju Cole, Emma McNally, Tatiana Trouvé, Igshaan Adams and myself. For the occasion, Maria de Vivo and Francesca Bellino from l’Orientale @uniorientale Naples organized a visit to have a look at the map of China, including Manchuria, which was produced by Mario Ripa in the 18th century etched on Cupper sheets and press printed in many pieces #cartography #maps #contemporaryart
