Ali Talaat (born 1995) is an “artist in an architect’s body,” from Egypt - based in Portugal for the
past five years. His practice explores the interconnection between art and architecture, focusing on
how ideas, objects, and spaces transform across contexts while challenging conventional notions of
ownership, value, and creativity.
His bilingual and cross-disciplinary approach has been shaped by years of collaboration with artists
and collectives, including research and technical production work with the renowned SUPERFLEX
collective in Copenhagen. Out of a conversation during this period, he initiated his ongoing research
project If Copy Then Value, which examines how copying can preserve the essence of an idea while
allowing it to evolve into new, uncopyrighted forms. For Ali, copying is both a tool for self-
education and a method of transformation.
