SUMMARY:Hazem Harb: Not There\, Yet Felt
DESCRIPTION:Unlike earlier works that centred around collective narratives\, this new body of work from Hazem Harb is highly personal and intimate; it aims to draw the viewer into Harb’s own lived environment\, reflecting his sense of disembodiment\, a feeling of being simultaneously connected to and distanced from his home. ‘Peeling’ is a central metaphor to reveal layered memories and histories embedded within the walls of Harb’s Gaza home; through evocative collage\, neon installation\, and a poignant self-portrait\, the artist raises themes of displacement\, memory\, and our emotional and physical connections to home. \nTo 27 May.
