Mahmoud Tarek is an artist born in 1998, in Alexandria, Egypt and currently based in Frankfurt am Main. Studying at Städelschule - Hochschule für Bildende Kunst since 2021, Tarek works with sound, film, photography, printing and performance. With an emphasis on urban settings, domestication and animals in history and landscapes, his multidisciplinary works use distortion to antagonize an anthropocentric gaze with which the contemporary world is perceived, deploying images to devices or hiding them in domestic symbols. By dislocating narratives from meaning to sensation, Tarek’s work displays unreliability in the instruments of perception and the meaning produced at its site, establishing sensation as a unit of experience, and the image as material. 

Recent Shows include: Against Nature (Neue Alte Brücke), Perhaps Here (Perform Sharjah’24), The Educational Web (KVH), and Rocking Meadows (Kunstverein Wiesen).
