"When the loading icon appears, time seems to slow down. It is the only moment when I can visually trace time, a brief pause suspended between expectation and arrival."
'The weird people wear underwear and virtual reality glasses. They are frozen in irritating actions and yet very flexible. So they catch the viewer's eye, also thanks to the archaic 3D process.
Only so-called “anaglyph glasses” (with red and blue lenses) bring the pictures and video works by Sulafa Hijazi to life. You can read that as an ironic volte in an exhibition that revolves around the true and false life between the analog and the digital.
The exhibition has a contrasting effect: in the largely darkened room, accompanied by meditative electronic sounds and targeted lighting, it draws the eye to the essentials, namely art: Images with the clarity of classic woodcuts, with symbols of the digital and a striking feeling of society in isolation.'
