Artist Marc Erwin Babej, Dancer, Yesterday - Tomorrow Series, edition 1 of 1. Yesterday – Tomorrow achieves a fundamentally new form of visual expression by reaching back to the beginnings of civilization. The work was created with a team of 55 experts, including 13 Egyptologists from leading international institutions. It is considered the revival and evolution of Ancient Egyptian art, in the form of a contemporary visual language called Aspective Realism. Among its defining features is the introduction of multi-perspective (aspective) figures, which challenge a core tenet of photography: namely, that a photograph is necessarily a single frozen moment, seen in central perspective. Each aspective figure is comprised of up to 24 exposures — photorealistic, but decidedly not naturalistic. Yesterday – Tomorrow’s 14 “photographic reliefs” portray contemporary themes, such as state propaganda, populism, xenophobia, surveillance, same-sex relationships and beauty culture. The work has been exhibited solo at The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Alexandria and the Roemer- Pelizaeus Museum in Hildesheim. It is held by the collections of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Art, the above-mentioned three institutions and others.
