Press Release
Raisan Hameed deals with the connections between war, migration and memory on the basis of personal experiences. He explores the effects of historical and geopolitical events on individual and collective history in private and public, analogue and digital image archives.
In Embers of Narratives, the artist examines the traces of destruction left behind by violent conflicts in Iraq and his home town of Mosul. The expansive installation consists of printed lengths of fabric showing images of landscapes, houses and people. For this purpose, Hameed uses screenshots found in Google Street View. He alienates his source material in several steps, processing the surface to create fire-like effects. It is left to chance which pictorial elements are visible in the final version and how the image narrative changes as a result of the artist’s intervention in the material. In this process, destruction becomes a metaphor for the cycle of transience and new beginnings.
