Aziz Hazara (b. 1992) uses a wide variety of media in his art ranging from participatory installations to sound, video, photography, text, and programming languages. He explores different issues revolving around memory, archiving processes, surveillance, the panopticon, or the politics of representation. All of these interests are closely connected to the geopolitics and never-ending conflict that continue to shape his native Afghanistan today. His works, which address the relationship between diverse dichotomies such as proximity and distance, migration and memory, life and death, reality and fiction, or war and peace, attempt to transcend specific geographical features in order to create universal metaphors of our present time.
