 Exhibntion from “ How Can We Think of Art at a Time Like This? “ 


Photography art by Mouna Karray, the artist get the inspiration during period of constraint, isolation and immobility, he believes the world wil have some change after this crisis.The series “Noir” echoes foucus on the concept of isolation, deprivation of movement and luck of freedom…  People are not allowed to go outside, and the world is disconnect, photography become a way to feel freedom instead of a tool of taking picture.


The white stretch fabric in the photo appears to be healed but restrained, and the outline of the body is looming, adding to the mystery of the photo. The black cable seems to be the only way to the outside world, so when the body is tightly wrapped, there is a One hand still holds it firmly.




At the same time, at this time, he linked creativity and imagination to break the boundaries of the country and new areas of invention. "Nous avons rendez-vous où les océans se rencontrent" This series of photos is a virtual representation of people and things that exist in different spaces. The encounter between people and different cultures and things is extra strange and thought-provoking in this case.

  1. Your review provides a good explanation of how Mouna Karray responds to crisis through her series Noir. I’m not sure why you included an ellipsis at the end of the second sentence. Perhaps this was a typo? The use of less commas in your sentences may create a more fluid reading experience. I’d also like to hear more about your impression of the entire exhibit in addition to this one piece of work. What did you think about viewing this exhibit in a digital format? Do you think it was constructed in a successful manner?

  2. As you say, “ he linked creativity and imagination to break the boundaries of the country and new areas of invention”, I can really see this exempted within the piece. The author reinterprets the meaning of a “portrait”. Just how you point out that this is a representation of existence in new spaces, this type of in-between portrait also sets up a new space for art. Its fascinating to draw connections between the conceptual points of this piece versus its categorization in the art world. You can see the sheer tension that is created by the fabric that, to me, points out the toughness of being able to show ones self during this time, with all the restraints of the pandemic.

  3. I'm not sure if you're trying to draw connections between these photographs or to our current society. More explanation would be great!
