Georges Salameh

Lebanon
Georges Salameh is an artist and filmmaker. His artwork and practice deal with an idiosyncratic experience of sedimentation, both in a physical and a metaphysical sense, through a creative comparison of reality, languages and narrations. The raw material of his work are files, recordings, images, which arise through peripatetics, gestures, reconstructions, and a sense of listening. He has lived in Lebanon, Cyprus, France, Sicily and Egypt. For the last six years, he has been residing and working in Athens. Since 1998, he has been exhibiting photographic installations and videos, documentaries and experimental films in Greece and abroad. Since 2009, he is the co-founder of the production and publishing platform MeMSéA. His artworks form part of private and public collections.
