Through video and digital drawing Karam Natour manifests his interest in the power of language, and specifically how translation becomes a unique vehicle for a deeper understanding of issues connected to identity, race and gender. Autobiographical, yet not directly so, truly performative, although always through the filter of the camera, the work of Karam Natour takes distinctive elements of his own self, connecting them to mythological, historical and art historical references. Through this mix, which is at times peppered with irony, at times with cynicism, the artist triggers questions that go beyond the “person” he is, generating reflections about representations of individuals and communities in Israel and in the Middle East at large but also about the figure of the (young) artist in the (often wild) field of art.
