About the work

The largest and most horizontal work in the series — almost cinematic in its proportions, the format of a wide shot rather than a portrait. A beginning. Shalaby is interested in how origins get mythologised, how identity gets constructed from fragments of cultures that don't always agree with each other. Genesis is where that construction starts.
