Attie shimon photography websites

Shimon Attie is a visual artist whose practice includes photography, video, immersive mixed-media installations, site-specific works in public places, and new media pieces. In many of his projects, Attie employs a variety of media to animate sites with images that reference lost histories or speculative futures.

This has included introducing the histories and narratives of marginalized and/or forgotten communities into the physical landscape of the present. In other, often video works, Attie engages local communities in finding new ways of representing their history, memory, and potential futures.

Ultimately, Attie’s work explores how contemporary media may be used to re-imagine new relation-ships between space, time, place, and identity.

 

Shimon Attie's work has been exhibited and collected by numerous museums around the world, including by New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, The National Gallery in Washington DC, the ICA in Boston, an
