Nevin aladag biography of michael jackson

In her video work Session, traditional Arabic, African, and Indian percussion instruments are “played” by the elements, battered by the wind, sea and sand in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. This fluidity of identity seen in her work blurs lines between passive and aggressive, male and female, temporary and eternal.

The stomps and steps of anonymous volunteers memorialized in Top View run parallel to the portrait of a city captured entirely through a rear-view mirror in City Language II—they dismantle the viewer’s assumptions of cities, people, and the concrete self.

Aladag has shown at Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Germany,
