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.

The project implies the exchange of artists between Georgia and Egypt. It aims to unite contemporary artists on a common topic: how the development of cities and their transformations influence traditions and culture. Our main focus is on street markets, their transformations through the surrounding developments of the city and their role in society. How are these changes influencing urban segments and life of neighborhoods /streets, in which the markets are located.
The project start by question the necessity/the need of street markets, which is directly connected with ecology and healthy food, urban issues and city structure, traditions and culture, where all levels of society meet each other (woman and man, kids and adults, ethnic minorities and emigrants), who are building the city and are making it diverse.
Except it didn’t stop by this point and went to the general market horizon. After the co curators and the participated artists found out that MARKET POINT is an entrance to a full parallax life.
The findings and surroundings in Cairo and Tbilisi was the creative inspiration for this process. The first presentation of this project was shown in TBILISI September 2014 and The Exhibition of this project is shown in artellewa art space from 12 through 22nd of February 2015.
Exhibition includes:
Writer and Film producer Hossam Elouan, essay.

About Exhibition
I accidentally read a Book about the Egyptian History called ” Saving the nation by the reviling of the crises” by Al-Maqrizy and it was not a coincidence to find the poverty conflict Surrounding our society realty in the contemporary era was mention in details in some part of the book which speaks about the starvation History in Egypt
Thus when this land-sliding ordeal has lasted long, and in which the people have encountered variety of despicable torment; not only have a lot of people thought that there have never been as such tribulations before, nor have ever occurred something that compares to them, but, further, they said they can never demise or secede from them. That’s because they are people who don’t apprehend, are unaware of the causes of incidents, and are always going with the flow.
And he who contemplates this accident from beginning to end, and have come to know it foremost and uttermost, would realize that such ordeals that happen to the peoples are not but the rulers and leaders’ misdirecting and their negligence to public affairs. Despite the agonies that have passed, and after what has gone on during these malignant years, the matter still needs for declaration and demonstration and strives for further explanation and elaboration. So I have intended to reveal the causes from which this awful matter has sprung, and how this dreadful predicament has spread over the nation and the peoples. Thus I conclude with mentioning what remedies this plague and redeems that curse.

Photographing without a camera, a photo essay about my cell phone series of Downtown, featured in Panorama, Mada Masr.

Panorama
By: Mai Elwakil.
The organizing committee of the 24th Youth Salon has picked “Crossing into the future” as the theme for this year’s edition. The annual state-sponsored competition, meant to promote emerging local artists, opened on December 15 at Cairo’s Palace of Arts with 177 artworks. But few of the 155 artists exhibiting this year reflect in direct ways on Egypt’s ongoing political and economic ‘transition’. The “Cellphone Diaries” are yet another response to street culture. Photographer Mohamed Ezz creates fantastic combinations of pictures he shot using his cellphone while wandering downtown Cairo’s streets. All printed in black and white, the photographs show the legs of a male model hovering over a street in mid air, shadows of cones from a street vendor’s cart stemming into the sky like dried palm trees, and a boat on the Nile river photographed from above with a shadow of buildings reflected underneath. The perspective Ezz presents of the city center is simultaneously exciting and unsettling.
My latest work “Downtown – cell phone diaries” won the salon award in the 24th youth salon, and the acquisition prize from the commercial international bank (CIB).
The Youth Salon is the official annual competition and exhibition organized by the ministry of culture in Egypt for young visual artists.
