Still Lives & Information

Artist

Olivia Hamza

Description

Still Lives & Information juxtaposes a book on Orientalism, a cellphone, and living plants beneath intense light and shadow. The composition explores how knowledge is filtered through biased systems of representation, where information shaped by perspective is often accepted as objective truth. By contrasting organic life with manufactured sources of information, the work reflects on how media, academia, and technology contribute to the construction and perpetuation of Orientalist narratives.
