TBT I did a solo project at Marian Cramer Projects in Amsterdam, October 2018, titled Nuedexta.
It was comprised of a video short, sculpture and a series of framed collage works. This is a section of the accompanying text:
"Adham uses a series of collage and layering techniques dislodging images from their surfaces, using these devices to confront the construction of desire, the failure of affect and dysmorphic relationships to body image corresponding to... and marking an overlap (with) the marketing of medical products and procedures and cosmetics.
Through video and collage works, performances of vitality collapse into an oily, itching, aching skin-hunger, frustrated by ruptures in the surface of the image, giving way to an ecstatic, orgiastic metamorphosis of bodies, materials and products."
