‘Not for the coy or faint of heart, these unflinching, occasionally even controversial, investigations into what it is to be a woman and a Muslim in 21st century Britain are made joyful by her own very personal brand of boisterous, tongue-in-cheek humour. This is not sensationalism for sensationalism’s sake, but rather a heart felt urge by a twenty-seven-year old artist of great sincerity and talent, for the viewer to look again, and this time with a more questioning eye, at traditionally accepted notions of identity, gender, culture and religion.’ - Beverley Knowles 2011
In vielerlei Hinsicht ein ganz großartiges Bild.
Mummy of Prince Amenemhat before Unwrapping, 1919, by Ambrose Lansing
Immediately after World War I, before the excavation staff could be reassembled for a full-scale field season, Ambrose Lansing conducted the Museum’s excavations at Thebes. While his work¬men were clearing at the edge of the cliffs south of Deir el-Bahri, they uncovered a child’s coffin. The mummy inside belonged to a prince Amenemhat, who had lived in the early Eighteenth Dynasty. The openwork pectoral, carved from a thin piece of wood, depicts Amenhotep I (ca. 1500 B.C.), who may have been the child’s father, smiting the enemies of Egypt.
Prince Amenemhat is perfectly bound in linen and adorned with the image and cartouche of Amenhotep I—wrapped and labeled for safe passage to the afterlife. Lansing photographed the mummy in a softer, less clinical manner than is evident in many of Burton’s photographs, placing it against a backdrop of linen similar to the wrapping itself. In addition, Lansing has lifted the mummy slightly so that light passes below, helping to define its right edge and, more expressively, suggesting lightness and levitation.
