Afterlives

Synopsis

Images of the Medusa of Hatra, ISIS propaganda, and digital archives play a crucial role in shaping collective memory and perceptions of violence. "Afterlives" employs desktop documentary techniques and forensic analysis to examine how these visual elements influence reality and the act of witnessing. By focusing on the intersection of art, conflict, and technology, the work highlights the complexities of memory in the context of contemporary violence, particularly in regions affected by extremist ideologies and cultural destruction.
