Space Shared/Divided consists of three lines of bright white light: two on the opposite watchtowers inside the Citadel of Salah Al-Din and a third one penetrating the Red Palace, a colonial British military office, suggesting a trajectory.
The installation utilizes sensors and real-time data to dynamically respond to changing tides and storm surges, creating an immersive experience that visually represents the effects of rising sea levels caused by climate change. Customized for each location based on IPCC data and local elevation.

Immersive environmental installation realised by applying photo luminescent pigments on stones.
Action that involves young men and a tree in a nonsensical expenditure of effort. The image recalls, ironically, the labour scene of the paintings in socialist realism style where people used to be portrayed during their daily working activities.

Images are originally attachments from junk mail I’ve received (Viagra, Porn etc.) The average colour of the image has been calculated and colour opacity reduced to 99{a0b4324157c1c2cc20f20a0325ce4b91f346c9529502a2f5dcfc1f5bed0237d4}. Only the ghost of the original image remains visible.
