Siwa

Siwa Video Installation, Siwa Symposium 2019 Joint work @Nihal Wahby@Mahmoud El Maghraby

A unique experience adopted by the General Authority for Cultural Palaces to give selected artists the opportunity to coexist with a pure environment of breathtaking beauty that bursts with life, in the depths of the Western Sahara. The experience allows artists to express in various creative forms.

The oasis’ fame lies primarily in its ancient role as an oracle of Ammon, which gave it its name: Oasis of Amun Ra.

Inspired by Siwa Oasis where the artist spent 10 days in this charming and mysterious place, this Group of paintings were created in materials derived from the oasis such as salt, used in both paintings and video installation.
