Misoprostol cheap online In Search of Mohamed is a set of multi-channel videos and photography works, for which I used my first name, Mohamed, as a starting point in research.
The project explores the tension between reverence and the profane by creating a manifold portrait of Mohamed appropriated from Egyptian cinema, collected, viewed, archived and manipulated, both digitally and manually, to highlight the ghostly boundaries of representation. Films have been collected based on specific criteria involving the use of the name Mohamed, either as a fictional character, a symbolic representation in a religious film or an actor’s real name, as displayed in the opening credits.
