Mohammed Alani

BIOGRAPHY

Mohammed Alani (1971 Bagdad/Iraq) lives and works in Brussels. Mohammed goes in search of the past, of history, of testimonies of a use. With his trained eye, he searches for objects that have led a life and that he gives a new future. He manipulates them, brings them together, distorts them and arranges them until they acquire a new meaning that is far from the original function.  Met zijn surrealistische blik  brengt hij moeilijke thematieken met een knipoog tot leven, je kan ze appreciëren om hun esthetiek maar ergens verschuilt zich altijd een mogelijke interpretatie. Hier brengen we werken samen die onderandere de thematiek van het onderweg zijn naar voor brengen. With his surreal look he brings difficult themes to life with a wink, you can appreciate them for their aesthetics but somewhere there is always a possible interpretation hiding. Here we bring together works that, among other things, bring to the fore the theme of being on the road.
