Immerse yourself in the groundbreaking artistic vision of Sameh AL Tawil, the renowned Egyptian-German multimedia artist whose work transcends conventional boundaries of medium and expression. Written by distinguished art critic Fatma Ali, with a foreword by celebrated artist Khaled Hafez, this comprehensive monograph offers an unprecedented exploration of AL Tawil's remarkable 25-year artistic evolution. "Sameh Al Tawil : The Monograph" takes readers on a fascinating journey through AL Tawil's development from his early paintings and sculptural works in Egypt to his complex digital installations incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence in Germany and around the world. As an artist who defies categorization, AL Tawil creates art that provokes profound questions about identity, migration, Neo slavery, technology, and human dignity through painting, photography, live performance, conceptual music, text, and sound. This definitive volume meticulously analyzes AL Tawil's most significant projects, including "Cupboard", "Slavery Documents," "Clockwise," "Chaos," and "Ready to Go," revealing how his transmedia approach challenges our understanding of reality itself. Ali's insightful critique illuminates how AL Tawil's work embodies philosophical concepts from thinkers like Baudrillard, gille deleuze, jacques derrida, among others, while remaining deeply personal and emotionally resonant. Readers will discover how AL Tawil's unique position as an artist navigating between Egyptian and German cultures has shaped his artistic vision, allowing him to create work that speaks to universal human experiences while addressing pressing contemporary issues. His innovative integration of music, performance, and digital technology creates immersive experiences that transform how we perceive and interact with art. "Sameh Al Tawil : The Monograph" is essential reading for art historians, collectors, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of contemporary art at the intersection of traditional practice and cutting-edge technology.
