Hasan Daraghmeh «Parallel Horizon»
«Parallel Horizon» consists of recent and brand new works produced between 2018 and 2021. Most of them are part of Hasan Daraghmeh's ongoing artistic project «Timescapes».
«Timescapes» is an artistic investigation of themes such as time, memory, distance and place. In his artistic work, he challenges the eye's observation of light conditions, movement, distance and the passage of time, and the central role of the photographic medium in recreating these experiences. Movement in public space is set in relation to the digital moving image and its materiality, through an exploration of the concept of the ‘pixel’ as its smallest component. His manipulation of the pixels causes the photograph to cease functioning as a snapshot; instead the very time spent on the depiction takes over in the visual expression. The project thus attempts to look at time itself as a landscape, opening up new ways of observing.
Hasan Daraghmeh: (b. 1983, Palestine) is a video artist who lives and works in Trondheim. He works primarily with video, multimedia installations and photography across most of his works and artistic research. The camera is his starting point. The works explore the entangled relationship between individual, place and image.
In many of his works there is a driving impulse to explore questions around layers of identity that exist between the real and the imagined, between invention and a deep-seated absence of narrative, and how these are connected and articulated in relation to place. He seeks to trace memory through place by creating multiple layers of time within the very passage of time. Public and urban areas hold inherent contradictions and are saturated with a dialectical relationship between authority, architecture and everyday practice, and Daraghmeh attempts to deconstruct and dissolve these layered realities and our presence within them through the digital moving image.
Daraghmeh graduated in 2018 with an MFA in Art and Technology from Kunstakademiet i Trondheim (NTNU) and an MFA from Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo (KHiO) in 2016. He holds a BA in contemporary art from the International Academy of Art Palestine and a BA in media studies and photography from Birzeit University (BZU).
Daraghmeh has presented his work in a number of exhibitions, including The National Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC), Lisbon (2021); Bærum Kunsthall, Bærum (2021); “Høstutstillingen 133” Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo (2020); “Trøndelagsutstillingen 44” Trøndelag Center for Contemporary Art (TSSK), Trondheim (2020); Tate Modern London (2019); The Palestinian Museum, Birzeit (2019); Barents Spektakel festival, Kirkenes (2019); PROYECTOR International Video Art Festival, 11th edition, Madrid (2018); Trondheim Kunstmuseum, TKM Gråmølna (2018); Høstscena, Jugendstilsenteret and KUBE, Ålesund (2017); Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo (2016); See You in The Hague, Stroom Den Haag, The Hague (2014); Steirischer Herbst Festival: Truth Is Concrete, 24/7 marathon camp, Graz (2012).
