ahmad askalany: egyptian pavilion at venice art biennale 09

entrance of the egytian pavilion

askalany's sculpture presents itself as an empty appearance, displaying fragility.
the sculpture is produced with simple techniques, similar to a girl's hair weaving,
with natural colored palm leaves. the work aims to captivate the essential gestures
and shapes of a humanity free from aggressiveness and a dark side.

'simplicity is my philosophy – to convey the idea directly to the viewer without
going into detail.' - ahmed askalany
