Ezz Monem is an Egyptian born artist, now living in Melbourne. The images in City Split were made by placing a small mirror in front of the camera, combining perspectives from a fixed but liminal space, where one looks forward and behind simultaneously.

Created in Melbourne and Sydney over the initial 18 months since moving to Australia, the images observe as the cities transform themselves. Monem has migrated, but it is through these images that he crosses from stranger to familiar. They map a journey over the threshold: from discovery to routine, from confusion to ease, from anticipation to monotony. They are a document of the subterfuge of the self required by migration.
