Beschreibung

Immerse yourself in the groundbreaking artistic vision of Sameh AL Tawil, the renowned Egyptian-German multimedia artist whose work transcends conventional boundaries of medium and expression. Written by distinguished art critic Fatma Ali, with a foreword by celebrated artist Khaled Hafez, this comprehensive monograph offers an unprecedented exploration of AL Tawil's remarkable 25-year artistic evolution.

"Sameh Al Tawil : The Monograph" takes readers on a fascinating journey through AL Tawil's development from his early paintings and sculptural works in Egypt to his complex digital installations incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence in Germany and around the world. As an artist who defies categorization, AL Tawil creates art that provokes profound questions about identity, migration, Neo slavery, technology, and human dignity through painting, photography, live performance, conceptual music, text, and sound.

This definitive volume meticulously analyzes AL Tawil's most significant projects, including "Cupboard", "Slavery Documents," "Clockwise," "Chaos," and "Ready to Go," revealing how his transmedia approach challenges our understanding of reality itself. Ali's insightful critique illuminates how AL Tawil's work embodies philosophical concepts from thinkers like Baudrillard, gille deleuze, jacques derrida, among others, while remaining deeply personal and emotionally resonant.

Readers will discover how AL Tawil's unique position as an artist navigating between Egyptian and German cultures has shaped his artistic vision, allowing him to create work that speaks to universal human experiences while addressing pressing contemporary issues. His innovative integration of music, performance, and digital technology creates immersive experiences that transform how we perceive and interact with art.

"Sameh Al Tawil : The Monograph" is essential reading for art historians, collectors, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of contemporary art at the intersection of traditional practice and cutting-edge technology. This definitive study not only documents AL Tawil's significant contribution to the global art landscape but also provides a framework for understanding the future of multimedia artistic expression in our increasingly digital world.

RESERVOIR DOGS
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
"Reservoir Dogs" is a 1992 crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The story follows a group of criminals who are brought together to carry out a diamond heist, only for the plan to go horribly wrong. After the botched job, the gang members, who know each other only by color-coded aliases, begin to suspect that one of them is an undercover cop. The film focuses on themes of loyalty, betrayal, and violence, featuring sharp dialogue, non-linear storytelling, and intense character development. Tarantino’s unique style combines humor with brutal action, creating a tense and gripping atmosphere.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“The film's budget was so low that many of the actors were asked to bring their own clothing. For example, Chris Penn wore his own track jacket, while Steve Buscemi wore black jeans instead of suit pants. Michael Madsen wore a jacket and pants from two different suits.”
“Madonna, who is referenced in the opening conversation of the film, liked the movie but disagreed with Quentin Tarantino's interpretation of her song "Like a Virgin". She gave him a signed copy of her album "Erotica" with the note: "To Quentin. It's not about dick, it's about love."
“Due to budget constraints, the production couldn't afford police assistance for traffic control. In one scene, Steve Buscemi hijacks a woman's car, but the scene could only be filmed when the traffic lights were green.”

We're Falling Through Space -...

J. David Reed

It's one of modern history's most beloved sci-fi creations and while the Doctor is revered world-round, what about their companions, friends and acquaintances along the way? For all the time travel and extravagant alien worlds, Doctor Who is often at its best when it looks to you, the average viewer, and how the lives and values of us human beings are actually spectacular.
The cup of tea or coffee we make in the morning, the relationships we carry and lose in life, the routines we love and hate, the vinegar-soaked chippies we have at night – they might look mundane against the spectacle of the Doctor but what if it's us, the humans, who are the fantastical ones?
In We're Falling Through Space, J. David Reed investigates how Doctor Who uses its larger-than-life lens to consider how the mundane is a lot more special than we might realise. As one of the Doctors put it, 'Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.'
