Monia Ben Hamouda (*1991) explores how the behavior of animals and humans changes in relation to the moon. Especially how the vision of the moon is conceived within the artist’s family and her cultural context. Indeed, the moon and its phases are an important element in the Muslim religion. The works talk about co-dependence, about family, and how within the family there can be different figures, different possibilities and relationships. All the works are interconnected and rely on one another.
