PRESENTING THE EXHIBITION
From October 15th to November 5th 2022, Mémoire de l’Avenir presents a selection of ten works by German-Egyptian artist and sculptor, Dr Gindi. The pieces lead the visitor through the various aesthetic and philosophical queries that are at the epicenter of the artist’s creative process: at the intersection of concepts such as death, enlightenment, decay and self-realization.
Engaged in an ongoing meditation on transcendance and the sublime, Dr Gindi takes hold of the sculptoral medium in order to grapple with questions of materiality, transmutation and their direct manifestations within the living human experience. Having devoted her life to the practice of medicine, Dr Gindi invests her gaze and sensibility in the meticulous observation and representation of the dyad of human figure and spirit as one, expanding it into the realms of the intangible through poignant visual allegory, proposing a personal expedition through the human condition.
Drawing on the influence of both Western and non-Western philosophy, Dr Gindi’s art highlights the aesthetic experience as a fundamental one in our inner journeys towards knowledge, ethics, liberation and peace. In its primal, alchemical expression, the art of Dr Gindi appears as a dance between metal, fire and earth, which seeks and finds the ineffable.

co-curator
Switzerland-based sculptor Dr Gindi works with clay, bronze and other materials to explore the rift of the human condition. Originally educated as medical doctor she followed her vocation and graduated in classic sculpting. Her work has been widely exhibited including acclaimed shows in Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and the US.
In her sculptural practise, Dr Gindi endeavours to explore the traversal of time and the metamorphosis of mime whilst illuminating the wickedness of human decay. Denuded of almost everything except for canorous resonance, her sculptures take the form of morphologically inspired silhouettes which finally eternalize in bronze. Dr Gindi reminds us that a capacity for self-introspection and bravery is necessary to overcome the mere physical aspect of our personhood – she endeavours to model the infinity of our existence. Her sanative three-dimensional works are both a testimony of the every day’s suffering of us humans and the budding reclamation of infinity – rendered through her high sculptural art.
