Summary

DescriptionHala Elkoussy - 2013.jpg	English: Journey Around My Living Room An exhibition by Egyptian artist Hala Elkoussy, May 2013 Mashrabia Gallery, Downtown Cairo This project by Hala Elkoussy borrows its title from Xavier De Maistre's book "Journey Around My Bedroom" -- in the book, the author undertakes a two-week journey in his own bedroom, experiencing it and describing it as if he were seeing it for the first time. Elkoussy attempted a similar approach to rediscover her own neighborhood: Downtown Cairo. For five months, she walked the neighborhood streets with her camera spontaneously capturing the way residents and street vendors interact and reshape their surrounding. As she explains in the video interview, the visual culture of her hometown is constantly changing, mixing the old with the new, and the temporary with what's been around for years and years. Through her exhibition of photography, street objects and paraphernalia, she tries to bring the audience in on how she sees her surroundings and tries to understand them For more information on the artist and her work, visit her website: www.halaelkoussy.com For more information on Mashrabia, visit the gallery's Facebook page: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1537562487 This video is produced by Medrar TV العربية: رحلة في غرفة معيشتي معرض للفنانة المصرية هالة القوصي ٩ مايو - ٤ يونيو ٢٠١٣ جاليري المشربية وسط البلد، القاهرة هذا المشروع لهالة القوصي يقتبس عنوانه من كتاب "رحلة في حجرة نومي" لزافييه دي متر، في الكتاب يقوم دي متر برحلة تستغرق أسبوعين في حجرة نومه ليعيد اكتشافها كأنه يزورها لأول مرة، فاتبعت القوصي أسلوب مشابه، حاولت من خلاله إعادة إكتشاف حي وسط البلد حيث تسكن، فجالت شوارع الحي بكاميرتها لمدة خمسة أشهر في ٢٠١٢ تلتقط خلالها بشكل عفوي كيف يعيد سكان الحي وباعته الجائلين تشكيل محيطهم. تشرح القوصي في هذا الفيديو كيف يتغير المحيط البصري للحي بشكل مستمر يجمع ما بين الجديد والقديم، المؤقت والمستمر، ومن خلال ما تعرضه من فوتوغرافيا وأشياء جمعتها من شوارع الحي بالإضافة إلى بعض متعلقاتها الشخصية تسعى الفنانه إلى اشراك الجمهور في الطريقة التي ترى بها محيطها وتحاول فهمه. لمزيد من المعلومات عن الفنانة: www.halaelkoussy.com لمزيد من المعلومات عن جاليري المشربية وفعالياته: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1537562487 هذا الفيديو من إنتاج مدرار TV تابعونا للتعرف على الفنون المعاصرة بالمنطقة العربية: www.facebook.com/medrartv www.twitter.com/MedrarTV
