Unfolding personal narratives, Ahlam Shibli’s work explores ways in which history can be reconstructed through the photographic lens.
Embedding herself in the life of her subjects, Shibli examines how conflicting opinions inform the production of private, political and social contexts. Her images register unrecognized perspectives on society by concentrating on particular communities, places and events.
Bringing together key photographic projects from her entire career alongside newly commissioned works created during her residency at LUMA Arles, the exhibition will reveal the many layers that compose the reality of the places Shibli has investigated.
