werker 7 takes its title from the language of revolution -- tidings from the east, a 2011 lecture given by ariella azoulay, at the museu d'art contemporani de barcelona. her analysis of egypt's revolution, through images from the internet, became the inspiration of this work. highly recommended: www.macba.cat/ariella-azoulay

all images in werk 7 have been collected from the internet between 2011 and 2012. the words accompanying these images are taken from azoulay's essay.
