Larissa Sansour

Born in Jerusalem, Larissa Sansour (www.larissasansour.com) studied Fine Art in Copenhagen, London, and New York. Her work is interdisciplinary, immersed in the current political dialogue, and utilizes video art, photography, experimental documentary, the book form, and the Internet. By approximating the nature, reality, and complexity of life in Palestine and the Middle East to visual forms normally associated with entertainment and televised pastime, her grandiose and often humorous schemes clash with the gravity expected from works commenting on the region. Sansour is currently represented by Galerie La B.A.N.K in Paris. She lives and works in London.
