On June 18, during the opening of the exhibition Our Hidden Room at Rifugio Digitale, curator Irene Alison interviewed artist Mohamed Hassan. In this conversation, held during the vernissage, Hassan shared reflections and insights on his photographic work, which centers on the figure of his father and the theme of mental illness.
Throughout the interview, the photographer explained how the project was born out of a personal urgency, transforming pain into a powerful and universal visual language. An intimate and courageous narrative, Our Hidden Room weaves together family memory—highlighting the strength of resilience—and the need for belonging.
Our Hidden Room is the fourth chapter of the series Il Corpo che Abito, curated by Irene Alison and Paolo Cagnacci, and promoted by Rifugio Digitale in collaboration with Forma Edizioni and Infoto Firenze.
