Selected Works

we would like to unmake the road as a single, unitary slice of asphalt that a map would show and instead sit with a complex sensorial map.

We won’t take you on a walk or a drive either. Instead, we experience the road through the artistic practice of one of us, Azza Ezzat.

Unmaking Route10, visual story, Part of “Route 10” projects (2021-2025)

Artist Azza Ezzat extends her gaze and presence to a more domestic and bodily space. Azza tries to explore different dimensions of an "interior space", meditating on questions of how her own body inhabits that domestic space. A deep exploration of her ongoing spatial practice, as she investigates the flip side of inhabiting a space and the possible traces that can be left behind in such a space

The  painting is part of a new series the artist is working on, as she tries to explore different dimensions of an "interior space", meditating on  questions of intimacy, interiority and domesticity.

pen on paper roll, 900x45 cm, 2016

In the 1950s, most of Cairo's land use, was primarily agricultural. By time, the land was converted to red-brick built informal houses.

High Voltage is a representation of a vital entrance to Cairo, the 26th of July Corridor, which was mainly agricultural farmland. It was slowly replaced by the gigantic corridor and a good deal of farmland was removed or parcelled out to be transformed into urban residential buildings with "high voltage towers", being built right in the middle of the fields.
