English

Something is about to explode: Zayan and Abedeen break out in a rhapsodic dialogue, seizing the power of a popular life on the brink of implosion. Charged and charging, the deliberate performance in the absence of their instruments transposes pathos and agency. The video has best been described as ‘part-tribute, part-elegy’ to Egypt’s population of eighty million people.

Mohamed Zayan and Eslam Zeen El Abedeen live and work in Cairo. Zayan studied at the Cairo Higher Institute of Applied Arts, and has participated in a number of group shows. Zeen El Abedeen has participated in various workshops, including the 20th Youth Salon in Cairo. Together, the artists were jointly awarded the Golden Prize for their work 80 MILLION, which premiered at the 20th Youth Salon in 2009.
