About the work

ARTIST: YOUNES BABA ALI

“Everyone is called Mohamed” is a subtle sound installation installed in public space. Repetitively calling out Mohamed - a name whose popularity is unequalled globally and is used in Arab culture to address any anonymous man - the work engages a large audience. By its very nature, the work is an invitation to interact and react - simply by being provoked by it, as our body physically and instinctively reacts to the call.
