100 Found Objects was an exhibition of images, videos and research material collected by Ahmed Mater which chronicle Makkah’s past and present identity. Throughout his research, Mater has gathered a rich archive of conversations. They include personal references and continuous recordings of the urban developments and expansion of Makkah, some of which are presented in this exhibition. This publication accompanied the exhibition and includes visuals of a selection of the works on view.
100 Found Objects includes images, videos and research material that Ahmed Mater has collected which chronicle Makkah’s past to its present identity.
