Dear Issam, what’s up about your coming project on the Analemme?
I liked the story with Mudarress, it is touching, and I do not exaggerate if I said to you, I was able to imagine it as a cinematic scene full of ambiance, music, and silence, especially that I know the studio of Mudarress, so maybe this scene will be good one day if a fiction film was made about his rich life.
Also I knew his son Shadi, he died also…in mysterious circumstances.
For me I liked the painting of Mudarress, Mustafa Alhallaj, and Kaiyali…
Also Alhallaj died (sorry for this news) in a very dramatic way, that his studio burned and he was drawing his (wall painting) about 2 m x more than 30 m (I have a filming of this work,but the format was not supported in editing program) it was his life project, so when he saw the fire he ran away out, but he remembered this great work which he was going to finish it, so he get back to the burning place, and get the big painting out, but not himself, so he gave his life to this work…
I remember when I was visiting him in his studio in Alshahabndar square, also when he visited my exhibition in Alrakka.
He got a new wife when he was 80 years old (or more), and laughing with him in Alriwak caffe…simply he is full of life, running like a horse.
I liked to make a documentary about him, but now I always think about a fiction reflect his beautiful life.
It is raining from 2 days up to now, so I was unable to go filming for you.
I am going to my office –my editing room- to make some advertising designs to still alive.
Hazem
