Aziz Hazara
-
Aziz Hazara works across various media such as video installation, photography, sound, and sculpture. Growing up in Afghanistan, and having recently exiled in Germany, his poetics and mechanisms of representation intend to address the sensibility of what it is to live in a war zone; where the body and the landscape are besieged, and yet, inherently at an outbreak. Hazara’s practice has become pivotal to explorations of moving image as a medium that registers social and historical memory. His practice addresses legacies of American warfare and imperialism, in particular in the context of Afghanistan, wherein war and an age of global islamophobia changed the country and the world.
