Summary: Installation by artist on inaugration of Maraya Art Park by Maraya Art Centre, Sharjah. May-Dec 2013. The Hierarchy of Being brings together a series of seemingly disparate elements that explore visual culture through the lens of pioneering Islamic sciences with the view of exploring how these sciences have shaped contemporary current thinking. Fuelled by the artist’s longstanding interest into the work of two influential Iraqi scientists Ibn Haytham and Ibn Al-Jazari, both of who were active during the pinnacle of the historical Islamic period more commonly known as the Golden Age, circa 750- 1258 CE. Bilal takes inspiration from the achievements of these two pioneers and their outstanding contribution to scientific knowledge and cultural advancement in relation to the dual concepts of the study of optics and kinetic motion, which he re-appropriates into his own artistic practice, which exists at the cusp of photography, (re) imaging and contemporary sciences. Curator: Sara Raza
