Digital print mounted on wood, acrylic, bricks, and bleach
Adil shows me the place(s) of his nostalgia.
I make pictures out of them
and he made sequins out of
my negatives.
I wondered if he made old things
new or made
new things
old?
"Who am I before your eyes? Have you heard the 'Pyramid Song'?" is a photography installation that incorporates a mixture of documentary, posed portrait, and abstracted photographs of Adil Arsad. The photographs are mounted on a wooden piece, partially submerged in bleach. The installation is encased in an acrylic case and stabilized with bricks. It explores the concepts of nostalgic spaces of love and its grief by playfully experimenting with their materiality
