“Attempt Against Gravity”, Alaa Abd El Hamid, 20 cm, Polyester (1/8), 2010
” محاولة ضد الجاذبية ” : هى محاولة الإنسان للتخلص من أى قوة تريد السيطرة عليه وتقييد حريته ، فإنسان العصر الحديث يجد نفسه مضطرا ً إلى الخضوع لإيقاع الحياه السريع ويجد نفسه مجبر على التعامل مع انظمة تم وضعها من أجله لم يقم هو بإختيارها .. كأنظمة بطاقات الإئتمان و زحام المدن وطوابير السيارات وأنظمة تسويقية يتم تحويل الإنسان فيها إلى مستهلك وأشياء أخرى كثيرة فى العصر الحديث تكبل الإنسان وتمنع إنطلاقه. هى محاولة الإنسان أن يقرر مصيره بنفسه و ان يقدم على اختياراته وحياته بشجاعة و أن يتمرد على أى قوة تحاول ايقافه حتى لو كانت قوة الجاذبية الأرضية نفسها

In my attempts against gravity, I usually focus on the idea of liberating the body and letting it be free from any influences that might control it, even the force of gravity. These are the attempts of man to escape from the pace of the modern era, after he finds himself involved in all its forms: credit cards; installment systems; lines of traffic stuck in the crowds, waiting to move; among a number of other things that restrict people and strongly attract them. The idea of being free from control becomes a mere dream that’s hard to achieve. The phrase, “The solution is the solution” is an attempt to re-formulate or find a replacement for the old slogan ‘’ Islam is the solution.’’ In any problem, the solution lies simply in its solution! Not in any-thing else.
In this experiment, I focus on humanity’s attempts to get out of the control of any force that restricts intellectual freedom and the elevation of the mind. This experiment is an attempt to reject any ex-tremist thinking that takes humanity away from the essence of religion, and to replace fanatic ideas with the essence of religion, which is free of fanaticism. This experiment is an attempt to escape from any ideas that order humanity not to accept the other.”
Truly no matter if someone doesn’t know then its up to other visitors that they will assist, so here it takes place.
The classics, in the Western academic tradition, refer to cultures of classical antiquity, namely the Ancient Greek and Roman cultures. The study of the classics is considered one of the cornerstones of the humanities; however, its popularity declined during the 20th century. Nevertheless, the influence of classical ideas in many humanities disciplines, such as philosophy and literature, remains strong; for example, the Gilgamesh Epic from Mesopotamia, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Vedas and Upanishads in India and various writings attributed to Confucius, Lao-tse and Chuang-tzu in China.;-’;
