The early beginnings of a relationship of words and ideas between two mortals, the first a French philosopher (b.1924, Versailles - d. 1998, Paris), an often underrated and sometimes politically clairvoyant thinker who became popular and fell out of popularity within the expanded field of art because of a report he once wrote on knowledge. The second a curator and writer from Alexandria, Egypt. The latter attempts to unhinge and recast some of the first’s ideas and melt them into the vicissitudes of the current political, institutional, and creative period. As a result, questions on time, the intellectual, the exhibition, and funding applications collide with the political upheavals of a place seemingly ungoverned but unable to unrule itself from the markings of epochs past.
