Tamara Kalo (born in Saida, 1994) is an interdisciplinary artist based between Riyadh and Beirut. She was formally trained in architecture at the University of California at Berkeley (2016). She incorporates light- and time-based media such as video, sculpture, performance and alternative photography. Her practice is informed by embodied knowledge and guided by research to investigate narratives that shape home, displacement and collective memory. She seeks to represent the fragility of what lies between a moment in time and place and its memory. She’s interested in witnessing personal and regional landscapes, through site-specificity, fragmentation, glitching and typology.

ode to elisar 
structural fluidity
gated oasis
 shattered light
contours on collective consciousness
shattered horizon
folds unfolding
balconies of beirut
this sea is mine

thought-books
fortune tickets

/

border wall
bitter flight
tranquil tragedy
mourning dusk
and then we rose
rose portraits
here
