These 4 works w/o Names dealt with criminality, elitism and the dying process. With the help of Ingo Wendt, @hbksaar_atelier_hausig and @hartungtrenz my work was able to find more depth and stronger philosophical aspects.
Many thanks to @snixinthemix for accompanying and constantly scrutinising my work
Guerilla Mapping has its roots in activist and artistic movements, using unconventional cartography to reveal hidden narratives and challenge dominant perspectives. Originally emerging from grassroots initiatives, it is widely used in urban studies, environmental activism, and social justice projects to reclaim spatial awareness. My work at @hbksaar explores these alternative mapping techniques to visualize unseen connections in urban spaces. 🌌
As part of a project at the HBK Saar, this magazine was developed by Mahmoud Ibrahim.
Under the guidance of Stefan Hauser and @hannesbrischke to explore the interfaces between fashion and graphic design, whereby the
Balaclava, also known as a shiesty Mask,
was at the center of our investigation.
The balaclava is more than just
a fashion accessory. Its history and cultural significance are deeply rooted in various subcultures and historical contexts.
Originally as protective clothing for soldiers and workers, it has over the course of time it has undergone many transformations and is now used in a variety of various areas, from protest movements to current fashion trends.
Our magazine sheds light to these developments and shows how the balaclava as a symbol of anonymity, resistance and creative expression.
We examine its role in different cultural and social contexts in order to a comprehensive picture
of its multiple meanings. We hope that this issue
offers you new insights and inspiration.
