Presented of the frame of the Chargesheimer-Stipendium of the city of Cologne at Glasmoog Raum für Kunst & Diskurs

Far from home, a decomposed room floats in space—

fragments of memories, encounters, and a “dysfunctional” nuclear family.

“The Son” drifts through a neo-fascist world.

“The Mother” takes flight, escaping a war.

“The Father” calls from time to time.

An intimate invitation, an open-ended puzzle, with the possibility of extraterrestrial apparitions.

In »Everything Fell Apart [...] But You Were Never There«, Mohamad Moe Sabbah continues his multidisciplinary artistic exploration of the themes of grief, migration, and war. The exhibition presents various elements from Sabbah's most recent body of work, »Escaping Him«, which is constantly evolving from a series of interconnected impulses. In it, the artist narratively intertwines the personal with the collective: memories of a broken family, a country in collapse, and the dance with death. Painting, animation, and video form the visual elements of this multi-part project, which is embodied and carried by the central figure of the »Time Teller«, a narrator of time. The exhibition at GLASMOOG now manifests a further phase of this ongoing project.
