Note(s):

"It is not one of the countless hands that litter Western cultural imaginary: the hands of Lascaux; the hand of languid Adam high in heaven's rare air; the hand that conceal the genitals of an aboriginal couple in a mythological garden, etc. But it shares their air. It is full of grace and fair regard, like Adam's once, and possessed by a puissance old; Inhabited by a spirit. A phrase that reaches for a submerged semantic parallel with another text positioned to the right of the upraised, instrumental, phallic thumb, symbol and working digit of man's nearness and distance from other primates (term also used pontifically, religiously): worshipped by savages."

Description:

This work features a photograph Hassan took on her first visit to Baghdad, Iraq, in the late 1970s, when she studied Arabic at the University of Mustansyria. The photo shows the colourfully tiled dome and minaret of the Haidar Khan mosque, and the text evokes Arabia's literary traditions as exemplified in 1001 Nights.

Note(s):

"Hassan conjures and immediately cancels the fabular city of Thousand and One Nights. The text accompanies, overlays, an image of the Haydar Khanah mosque, built in the nineteenth century, standing on the Eastern Bank of the Tigris, near the Abbasid palace, in a city founded in AD 762 (Christian Calendar, of course). The inscriptions from the Koran running along the top of one wall, the turquoise tiles of the dome, clearly standing out against the celestial blue, as if, in the aftermath of Desert Storm, she must oppose architectural grandeur and reveal truth to a campaign that would use nature as a metaphor for its murderous machinations. Thus bringing us to contemplate a cultural, religious, and no doubt racial gulf in the Western understanding of the 'Orient'." (Reference: Edward Said)
