Artist's webSite
Nermine Hammam is an Egyptian photographer who studied art in New York, and whose work was shown at the Photoquai event in 2009 at the Quai Branly. Her photographs, which are similar in treatment to the pictorial universe, depict a complex reality, made up of multiple layers, which surrounds her, by superimposing several levels of reading. Her compositions combine a sense of ornament and social criticism, reviving an oriental decorative vocabulary while subverting it. Working on temporality, she subtly mixes digital images and damaged films or rolls of film that she "paints". Referring to several aesthetics, she summons oriental civilizations and art history, documentary and mythical figures. She regularly stays in Paris.
