artist group: AES founded in 1987 based in Moskau Tatiana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovich, Evgeny Svyatsky Curriculum Vitae www.aes-group.org project: Space Bedouin "Space Bedouin" Foto, mrs-lee.com “Space Bedouin“ is a sculpture, a three-dimensional human figure, wearing a cosmonaut dress with lavish embroideries: excerpts from the Koran, peaceful messages, which the cosmonaut carries on his journey through space, e.g. „ In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And the Quran that is full of wisdom. Most assuredly, you are one of the messengers. On a straight path.” Islamic countries and cultures are often considered retrograde in public. This doesn’t go together with the image of a cosmonaut who emerges out of this culture. Space Travelling and its complex technology are considered one of the great achievements of mankind. The work of the group AES has often centered on the relationship between the western world and various Islamic cultures.
