Cairo Alexandrie ... Dear Folan el Folani

Between sex and politics,
Memories and Actualities,

Symbols and meanings,
People and cities.
I know my city.
It is dificult to reproduce,live and move like chicken.
Under a pharonic veil.
Et pourtant !!!
I have seen the future baby, this is murder.

BJCEM 2007

These are the words I found to write a motivation letter.
My story with the Biennale started when in Marseille, France Irrmann asked me to represent Alexandria in Athens bjcem 2003, telling me that it was beneficial for the young artists.

When I took over the artists selection for Naples 2005 I remained faithful to that commitment, sailing at the margin of the already established networks and Institutions.

I was helped and supported by friends from Espace Culture, La Friche Belle de mai (Claudine Dussolier), l'Atelier d'Alexandrie (Esmat Dawestachi), BJCEM (Alessandro Stillo), the French Cultural Center (Brigitte Remer), who were never late when an advice was needed, and made the workshops and the Egyptian representation possibly achieved.

I voluntarily put in it all my energy, as I believe that art and knowledge is the key to safe and peaceful relations.
It was fast and logical that the Biennale of Alexandria called me to be part of its Higher Committee for the organization in 2005 Alexandria Biennale, and their decision came to me as a surprise.

It was with this objective that Alexandrian artists were represented in Naples Passion 2005, and the Biennale is programmed in Alexandria with, "Our Creative Diversity: Kairo's" in 2007.

Re-defining lies in own terms.

As fiction in a complete lunar eclipse.
Moon over Cairo.
Tonight the moon is full ecplipse.
or Lunar Eclipse .
I-Eye do like the image of the hidden upstairs wize man watching from a hole, seated behind the moon. Here is what it looked like last week and, here is what happened few minutes ago.

Culture instead of espionage.
Peace instead of war.

It took me TIME to realize that it can also be:
Espionage instead of culture and (may be) war instead of peace.
(may be ... of course ... massalan)

Who knows !!!

It seems that Lunar and Solar Eclipses got Significance in Islam.
In her blog Elaine Meinel Supkis knots threads between numerology and astrology, falls in politics and of course trips to egypt. A mixture that charms and of course swims into death and mortality.

Putting the issue into practice.
