In Rami George’s videos and installations, autobiography becomes a form of history writing that complicates official narratives. The artist takes personal and embodied experiences as points of departure to re-appraise enduring civic and social issues, ranging from the legacies of the civil war in Lebanon to familial and queer histories. Considering these various cultural inheritances, George’s work employs found images, media, and texts to present a radiating network of events and relationships that link past to present and individual to collective experience.
