Mosaic mural in Sharmelshekh Airport 1992-5
– Made site specific work for the airport yet has made them appropriate for the audiences (e.g Egyptian style mosaics)
-A.Abdelrahman has a variety of private commissions and public
mixing 2D with 3D Islamic art typically is flat – how to make this live in a space that is what the murals are inspired by
2D objects in 3D spaces
-Opera – Worked on projected illuminated patterns that moved to the beats of the performers
“what is a mural” does it need to be integrated into the architectural settings?
“Compositional structures in mural design towards a site-specific deconstructive mural methodology” – Studdied in Rome – Baroque methodology/ Rome describes them as a painting
“poetics of space”
Made a work based on the leftovers from the studio – interested in the idea of projection art
