http://modernsmile.com/promotions/grand-opening/ In this installation Ezz Monem explores the tension between reverence and the profane by recontextualising references to the name ‘Mohamed’ from Egyptian and broader Middle Eastern cinema. It is part of a larger project in which Monem uses his first name ‘Mohamed’ as a starting point for extensive research. Through a meticulous process of copying, erasing and repetition, he creates a manifold portrait of the name. The accompanying sound work by Matthew Davis is composed of micro-samples extracted from the same films Monem has edited from.
