"...the digital revolution has also brought forth forms of art in the analogue area that are designed for immersion. Mona el Gammal’s Rhizomat, for example, is a narrative space: a theatre play in which no actors appear, but in which the viewer wanders alone, a bit like a Tatort inspector, through a cosmos that he must himself open up by reading clues. The deeper he enters into the story, the clearer it becomes that he has landed in the future, in 2060, when the world is ruled by a totalitarian polling institute, which also controls him as a visitor to the installation – and of which the work makes him aware."
