Maha Maamoun // Egypt

Her videos and photographs address the form and function of images that are found in mainstream culture. Her work acts as a lens through which we see familiar images in novel and insightful ways. She does that by making subtle interventions in photographic material that she captures on camera or borrows from various sources. Maha´s work is shown world wide. Lives between Egypt and The US

Introduction
