Different Social Media platforms are growing these days; they enable you to share your life through photos, videos, and audio, in addition to various other tools. All these different tools are becoming our new global language.
Social media has become a core medium to connect with the world whether on a personal or professional level. The sky’s the limit with how and whom one connects with.
Yet, there is a huge question about our privacy, our human contact and our reality. Some people do feel the threat and some do not. Some choose to disconnect from this virtual reality and some believe they are in control of the content they share, view and believe. Another group would say, “I love it, what’s the worse that could happen?!.
Creating an exhibition in a physical space from what is basically an online phenomenon presents its own set of challenges. The exhibition is a way to share the importance of Social Media in today’s culture and society and to look into those challenges that it brought to our lives, how are we dealing with them and how social media is now a core element in our contemporary society and life.

An exhibition by artist Mohammed Ezz at Artellewa Art Space
from 12 to 30 jan . every day from 12 to 8pm except Sundays and Mondays.
“The portrait-photograph is a dosed field of forces. Four ‘ image-repertoires intersect here, oppose and distort each other. In front of the lens, I am at the same time: the one I think I am, the one I want others to think I am, the one the photographer thinks I am, and the one he makes use of to exhibit his art.” ? Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography.
The project was initially inspired by the ideation of Roland Barthes of the portrait-photograph, accompanied by visualizing these intersections in several visual works.
The project focuses on the studio portraits that are mostly related to identification documents and official papers which can last for a long time on documents such as passports, educational certificates and other documents. The officially of those photos transcend to more than just a single empty look; it turns a finite moment into an endless repetition.
A part of the project was accomplished by installing an elementary studio extended to the gallery to photograph people living around the area, besides other work shot in real studios around Cairo.
