Showing simultaneously at the Picasso Gallery are Romany Hafez's photography exhibition “Memorabilia” and Farid Fadel's exhibition of drawings, water colour and oil paintings “My Heart's Desire”. Hafez makes a remarkable addition to his artistic corpus, presenting evocative black-and-white pictures of places both actual and virtual, occupied with objects and arrangements that suggest various narrative interpretations. Sometimes people appear with their backs to us, always in motion as if running away from our gaze – or out of the photo's frame. Only one appears frontally, as if by accident: his face is obscure. Raising no end of questions even as they remain ultimately mysterious, they provoke the viewer to wonder about the inhabitants of these places and their stories. The desire to observe at a distance is challenged by the desire to assimilate the images, becoming part of them. Hafez is a collector, and like all collectors is obsessed by objects and the places where they originate. But he never quite reveals his secrets.
