Oracle of DelphiPalimpsest: Photography by Nermine Hammam
February 28th 2007 22:48
Townhouse Gallery in Cairo presents 'Palimpsest: Photography by Nermine Hammam' during March, 2007. In this series of works, brought together under the title Palimpsest (a parchment from which writing has been incompletely erased to make room for another text), artist Nermin Hammam plays with fixed notions of artifice and reality.
Using graphics technology to evoke Caravaggio’s Tenebroso (literally meaning dark and gloomy), layering textures and washes of pigment to imbue photographs with a static, painterly quality, she documents rituals in which religious boundaries are transgressed as a matter of course, Christians and Muslims flocking to church in search of solace and healing.
