MOHAMMED JOHA

Through a unique collage technique, Mohammed Joha reworks a traditional practice, transforming it into a metaphor of rupture and reassembly. Intense colours, drastically simplified shapes and recycled materials – such as old fabrics, shreds of wallpaper, cardboard and plastics – give life to complex floor plans and installations that recall destroyed environments. His work thus visualises a condition of precariousness and a form of “presence in absence”. By placing the Palestinian situation at the centre of his work, his participation in the Biennale is a political testimony in itself.
