In an age of digital manipulation and snapshot aesthetics, Amjad Faur’s images speak of patience, precision, and intentional contemplation. Using a large format camera and elaborately constructed sets, he captures a single moment preserves the integrity of that fleeting perspective in the photographic emulsion.

An American artist with both Scottish and Palestinian heritage, Faur deals with the intersection of those two cultures in a way that focuses on the cultural and visual aspects rather than the overtly political. By alluding to art historical depictions, as well as religious and geopolitical references, Faur’s compositions employ representational tension as a means to explore the volatile and mercurial state of his ancestral background in the Middle East. Existing materially as remnants of a fading process, Faur’s photographs exhibit a striking presence that places them in the contemporary realm while infusing each image with a wealth of historical insight.
