مغلق للصلاة | Closed for Prayer. 2016
The shops close as the call for prayer echoes. The city is in a sudden halt. Shopkeepers rushing out and closing their shops, leaving behind closed shutters- blank and empty, in silence. There's something beautifully dreadful about it. The city is in a state of meditation. In this sense, the call for prayer becomes a city performance. The shutters closing and opening becomes a performative ritual, a collective transformative experience that is particular to the city and how it is experienced.
