There he lived through Egypt\u0026rsquo;s shift from closed socialism to capitalism, with all its social, economic, political and military consequences. Also the multicultural nature of Cairo inspires the video artist, painter and writer. In his practice he deals with issues such as time, identity, globalisation, materialism, cultural recycling, the sacred versus consumption, and the three Eastern taboos: sex, politics and religion. Hafez combines icons from Ancient Egyptian religion with images from advertising, pin-ups, comics and current events. For there is great influence of Western culture and media in the Middle East, which leads to insecurity concerning personal identity. Furthermore, since 11 September Arabs have been increasingly identified with terrorism, fanaticism and danger. Hafez shows stereotype images of the Arab or combines Eastern and Western elements. For example, he stimulates the viewer to think about cross-fertilisation between cultures, identity and image. His ironic oeuvre raises many questions, but provides few answers.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKhaled Hafez\u003c/strong\u003e is geboren en getogen in de wereldstad Ca\u0026iuml;ro. Hij beleeft er de omslag van het gesloten, socialistische Egypte naar het kapitalisme met alle sociale, economische, politieke en militaire gevolgen van dien. Ook het multiculturele karakter van Ca\u0026iuml;ro inspireert de videokunstenaar, schilder en schrijver. De kunstenaar put voor zijn werk uit verschillende bronnen in het verleden en in het heden: zijn geboorteland Egypte, de tv, de actualiteit, conceptuele kunst. In zijn kleurrijke schilderijen [in pop-art stijl] en videowerk recycleert hij figuren die drie hedendaagse taboes - seks, religie en politiek - symboliseren, of dat nu een god is uit het tijdperk van de farao\u0026rsquo;s, een pin-up model of een stripfiguur. Zijn oeuvre weerspiegelt de impact van de door het Westen [en met name Amerika] gedomineerde massamedia op niet-Westerse samenlevingen zoals die van het Midden-Oosten. De invloed van de westerse cultuur en media in het Midden-Oosten is immers groot, wat leidt tot een onzekerheid over de eigen identiteit. Bovendien worden Arabieren sinds 11 september in de media vereenzelvigd met terrorisme, fanatisme en gevaar. Hafez toont stereotype beelden van d\u0026eacute; Arabier of maakt combinaties tussen oosterse en westerse elementen. Zo laat hij de kijker nadenken over de kruisbestuiving tussen culturen, identiteit en imago. Zijn ironische oeuvre stelt veel vragen, maar geeft weinig antwoorden.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"EG","place":"Caïro","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}},{"country":"EG","place":"Caïro","category":{"en":"Lives in","nl":"Leeft in","fr":"Vit à"}}]}
