Sumario:The article focuses on the artistic process of artist Hany Armanious. The core of Armanious' artistic process lies on the questions on what it means when the meaning of something departs from what appears. His artwork demonstrates the esoteric power, conceptual effects, and formal possibilities of object reproduction through casting. His work tends to stimulate and subvert the authority of creative act and the unparalleled presence of the artist. For instance, in his seminal piece "Selflok," he demonstrated both sides of the equation in the form of an authentic casting laboratory.
