“Perforating boxes with rebar, his sculptural arrangements consist of provisional structures that evoke both unfinished buildings and defensive edifices. Occasionally, he further adorns these boxes—advertising oranges, dates, lemons, or filo pastry sheets—with pastel drawings that act as subtle pictorial interventions, which he also applies onto pieces of plywood and fabric. The different materials he uses refer to familiar environments; they bear the traces of inhabited spaces and everyday activities, yet they also exert a precarious and hazardous state of things.” Excerpt from an essay on Mohammed Tatour by Emile Rubino
