Personal Info
- Country of residence: Palestine
Information
Khaled Jarrar, born in Jenin in 1976, similarly focuses on Palestine through video, photographic and performative works that contrast the playful nature of his objects with the high-stakes issues he examines and depicts (such as football shoes made from concrete chipped from Israel's separation barrier). His work is baldly political and often autobiographical. In 2007, he staged an exhibition at a West Bank checkpoint within sight of IDF soldiers, and since 2011 his Live and Work in Palestine series has stamped passports of visiting tourists with seemingly official “State of Palestine” entry stamps. Jarrar resides in Ramallah.
