Figures 1817, Eslam or the Countries which have professed the Faith of Mohamet is part of the Figures Series the artist started in 2015 that underscore her interest in cross-culturalism and the sociological, economic and political constructions that attempt to contradict it. In these she manipulates archival materials from the XIXth and XXth century including maps, stamps and bank notes, details of which she then photographs using special lenses from the 1970s to allow the development of the final work in large dimensions. The second part of the process is the precise and time-consuming use of digital processes to cut, layout and juxtapose details or entire iconographies to produce the sumptuous big compositions that characterize these ‘post-photographies’
