Presenting new work developed over the past two years, We Kill You includes a five-channel video installation, photo-collage and a video mapped sculpture. The exhibition continues Sabsabi’s enquiry into contested geographies, selective histories and ideological movements affecting all of us. Its title refers to the poem by the late Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani, written in 1972.
Khaled Sabsabi has exhibited extensively within Australia and internationally including the 18th Biennale of Sydney, 5th Marrakech Biennale, the 11th Sharjah Biennial and the 9th Shanghai Biennale . In 2015 he co-curated the Islamic film festival Pop Islampresented as part of APT8 at QAGOMA. His work is held in the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, the Art Gallery of Western Australia and Australian War Memorial. Later this year he will exhibit in the inaugural Yinchuan Biennale.
