Iman Issa’s multimedia works explore the relationship between history, memory, language, and objects. Her projects typically incorporate multiple pieces that are themselves comprised of multiple forms. Recent installations have allowed Issa, who also writes fiction and essays as part of her practice, to investigate historical works of art through poetic, written descriptions and varied interpretative forms. Issa’s modest but beautifully crafted objects, short videos, snapshot-like photographs, and accompanying texts use language and juxtaposition to create ambiguous, but resonant tableaus.
