The village of Nefza does not have access to drinkable water although it is a rainy area. Mohsen's work will be both scientific and artistic. He will carry out research and analyses as well as carry out meetings and interviews with the villagers; main stakeholders of the project, in addition to engineers, government representatives and experts. He seeks to create an interactive exhibition with a series of photos in augmented reality, which can be presented in places with scientific as well as artistic vocation, as well as interviews in which the villagers tell stories in a poetic way and a documentary that can be presented in schools. The artist is also thinking of creating an interactive photo-book, with QR codes leading to audio stories.
