About

Mohammed Zakaria is a conceptual artist and community activist.
His work enacts a revolution on semantic stagnation.
Where medium is secondary; re-meaning is the craft.

  • The remarkable thing about the “Mulatham” (the veiled) is what his veil symbolizes, an extension of all those veiled or carried a stone in the struggle for the liberation of the Palestine, and a manifestation of the personal construct of every Palestinian; the ordinary person who was forced to become extraordinary, a superhero hiding his identity under the veil.

    All Things Are Abstract
  • Juxtaposing such contrasting concepts; a romantic “orientalist” view of Palestine, and the red “breaking news” banner, looking at the images with today’s eyes, one can observe the way with which the red banner mutates the subject matter entirely, attaching a whole new meaning to it;  the red banner becomes an element of intrusion to the composition of the images, derailing their narrative, precisely in the same way Israel is to the lives of Palestinians.

    Images of The Holy Land
  • Using this tool of playful rebellion on preset meanings in a setting that is ever evolving; the city -the built environment; with the diversity of its spaces, and complexity of its structures- is reproduced into an enormous playground carrying the potentiality of recreation at every corner.

  • “Recollection” is an installation that attempts to construct (recollect) a memory of my father that is whole by piecing together its fragments.​
