Wiame Haddad is a photographer of matter. Through the objects Haddad photographs she reveals their telluric nature, and approaches the landscapes she records as organic bodies. The tension that is gradually revealed in the bodies she encounters enters into alchemy with the matter that interests her and that she stages in her photographs. She develops sculptural and photographic projects that carry within them the stakes of a tension of the body—or the trace of its presence—as a political signifier. The artist's work takes on the scope of a photographic study, as well as ethical and formal research. This research is coupled with an aspiration for what is not seen; revealing the bodies forgotten by history. It is through what was once invisible that Haddad's work takes shape.
