專家說明

'A work in Edge of Arabia Istanbul that remains most disturbingly in memory is Maha Malluh's Tradition and Modernity. Overtly, it shows the everyday, but the restrained tension says other things. The fearsome image of the can-opener amidst the benign cutlery is deeply disturbing. A colleague was struck by the confining boxes that frame each image. Tradition and Modernity is not an easy work. Maha Malluh's written statement that a hectic modern life should not lead people to forget watching the sunset is calming, but Tradition and Modernity has a different feel entirely and is anything but calm.' (Dr. Geoffrey King, SOAS University, London, January 2011).
