Tapis roulants / Rolling carpets
- il y a 8 ans
Project supported by Institut Français in Paris
Production by the WRO Media Art Center Foundation and WRO Art Center. WRO2015
The project has been inspired by the streets of Cairo – its pervasive traffic and the cacophony of sounds. The installation consists of car covers the artist brought from Egypt and a soundtrack recorded in Cairo: the ubiquitous horns, the singing of the muezzin, the noise coming from a marketplace, the rustle of bird wings… The car covers, like cars filled with air, ascend and descend, resembling the dynamics of breathing.
