In her solo exhibition ‘Reconstructed Views’, Faryda Moumouh explores the boundaries of photography through a deeply personal and autobiographical visual language. Her work begins with self-made photographs, but these are merely the starting point of an intricate, multi-layered transformation. Moumouh digitally and manually alters her images, incorporating various media such as gold acrylic paint, Indian ink, tracing paper, mica, and edited prints. The result is a complex web of associations that takes the viewer on an inner journey filled with melancholy, alienation, and philosophical reflections on existence in a chaotic world.
In Reconstructed Views, Moumouh uses photography as a means to reconstruct her own reality. The camera is not an end in itself but a tool for her to explore and shape both her surroundings and her inner world. By layering images, she creates alien landscapes, fragmented portraits, and surreal urban scenes. These works reflect a search for identity and meaning, detached from predefined cultural or ethnic frameworks. Moumouh consciously moves beyond these boundaries to express her independent voice.
Her work stands at the intersection of art and philosophy, where she acts as an archaeologist, uncovering traces within images and dissecting them. The visual layering in her oeuvre invites viewers to dig deeper and form their own interpretations, while contemplating themes like isolation, geography, and the human condition.
With an unconventional and liberated approach to art, Moumouh creates visual answers to her inner questions, while leaving ample space for the viewer's own exploration. Reconstructed Views offers a glimpse of the world through the eyes of an artist who uses imagery as a powerful language to understand and share her complex internal and external reality.
