Mahmoud Tareq is an artist based in Alexandria, Egypt, he’s studying Sculpture and he’s currently part of Mass Alexandria, an independent year-long art program founded by Wael Shawky.

His piece is a stuttering sound portrait of his city, made of repetition, involuntary pauses, prolongations of sounds. He combines dissonant sounds and dissonant phenomena: the neoliberal lifestyle, the militarization of the society, the entry of a rural society into the urbanscape…In Tareq’s schizophonic piece we discover a stutter city, a city that is still becoming.
