"Im Fokus: Zypern, Insel der Aphrodite"*
These murals shall be read as crystallization of uncontrollable meanings about certain bodies. As another self-portrait of Hasan's, this work invites his audience to correlate their knowledge of mythologies circulating around the archeological finds and the "unfamiliar" people around them.
*"In Focus: Cyprus, The island of Aphrodite" is a name of a permanent collection in Neues Museum of Berlin. The collection displays archeological finds from Cyprus. Hasan used this name as a "ready made title" for the project.
