Art / Work
Mikael Mikael's works are conceptually developed as interventions within the physical and discursive public space. Installations are documented through photography and video, whereas the documentations can stand as self-contained works themselves. In November 2011 a specific work by the artist Mikael Mikael appeared in a photograph depicting female Israelian activists, holding up the poster that reads "Show you are not afraid", demonstrating their solidarity and support for the Egyptian Blogger Aliaa Magda Elmahdy.[2]
