Daniah Alsaleh

Daniah Alsaleh’s work reflects on memory and cultural conditioning: how messages and beliefs are absorbed and delivered. Through computation, Alsaleh establishes new methods of interpretation and unearths unexpected perspectives. She questions behavioural patterns and paradigms in the everyday, examining things that we take for face value, by destabilising the mainstream assumptions that form the basis of this conditioning. Behind the aesthetics of each installation lie a commentary on human fragility, insecurity and vulnerability.

She was awarded the Ithra Art Prize in 2019 and has participated in numerous exhibitions regionally and internationally. She has also undertaken residencies at Cité Internationale des Arts, the Delfina Foundation, Saudi Goethe-Institut and Berlin Art Institute.
