Desert Flyover
Single screen Installation. HD Flat screen TV wall mounted. High definition video with sound / Total Duration: 2:17 min looped.
Subject: Mahmoud, Edgware Road, London.
Testing the grounds of contemporary representation: Mahmoud the subject in this video works in one of the many Lebanese restaurants on Edgware Road, London’s most visibly Arab district.
Mahmoud sits on a small carpet with a red Hookah pipe positioned to his right. He wears a Keffiyeh (a traditional middle eastern headdress) and faces the direction of his travel.
A desert CGI constructed virtual background creates a backdrop for the journey as Mahmoud’s carpet skims above cacti, sand dunes and an oasis. The work plays on fallacies, notions of the desert and a westerner’s Orientalist Gaze. The desert has long been the playground for stories of magic, intrigue and mystical happenings in both western and Arabic fables and mythology.
The high colour and resolution of the CGI aesthetics sit far from reality and site a virtual futuristic landscape whilst traditional clothing anchors Mahmoud into a notably historical context. The journey begins continually for Mahmoud without ever arriving at a destination, emphasising the intangibility of this scenario. The work also references console gaming in respect to the relentless placing of the character to the point in which they started their quest each time they fail to proceed to the next level.
