Kart Group x Mustafa Khamash
Kart Group presents an experiential art installation that reflects on leadership and cultural values in generational perspectives.
Two noble leaders, Sheikh Mohammed and his son Sheikh Hamdan, are symbolically represented in this 3D multidimensional sculpture, with a fusion of layers that merge their figures into one. Their vocation to serve and build the United Arab Emirates are complementary, and their vision and mission for the country are implicit in the title of the installation which explores two different aspects of what a nation needs to expand and prosper.
VISION | MISSION is a mise en abyme (a formal technique of placing a copy of an image within itself). These two iconic regional leaders, who have sustained prosperity in the UAE, are presented back to back, inviting the spectator to reflect on the culture of leadership across generations.
The design of the installation was accomplished by playing with pixels and vectors (2D and 3D softwares), simplifying the contours yet modelling the maximum details to express a certain volume and intriguing confusion to give maximum realistic effect.
