Sound
My practice through the 6 months was searching in the meaning of noise specially in the Cairo as the capital city, the research was sound based, day by day I tried to limit my research till I've reached the most interesting subject for me (Metro Station), I started recording sounds, conversations and fights inside the trains with my mobile phone through every day journey from my house to my studio and I found that I'm so interested in the social connection between people and how they communicate/react with each other through this space in their daily life. A;ong side my presence inside this space, I dig through this connection till I came up with a 12 minutes sound journey.
The Capsule had been shown in the closing public event at Rozanama Studio, October, 2018.
Audience were meant to enter to the show room in a one group together after reading a very short text defining what will happen in the dark room, since they enter the room and take their seats on the floor, I play the sound.
