DUBAI---Carbon 12 presents Ghazel’s second solo exhibition, “Family Tree”, from her seminal “Me” series, ongoing since 1997 with over 730 scenes. “Family Tree” is for the first time deconstructed and exhibited as short scenes. “Family Tree” consists of 12 episodes made from family stories enacted by the artist via her “Me” series persona: in a black chador. The artist re-incarnates each of the characters herself, becoming her great aunt, her dog, her mom, her brother, her dad, her nanny, an approach that exudes her humor. Her multiple narrations and characters change and challenge the aesthetics of her work and its representation in such a way that this new direction almost elicits a new name for its new visage: “Me and the Others”.
