Amir Hazim was born in Iraq. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Art from the University of Baghdad. His work navigates melancholic memories and futuristic visions inspired by excavations of his early life in post-2003 central Baghdad. His multimedia practice engages his lived experiences, observations, and Baghdad’s social history with photography, sound, sculpture, painting, and installation. He is continually exploring human nature as part of larger threads of social history and cultural complexity. Currently, his work focuses on photography presented in both cinematic grayscale and vibrant color, where his use of light and shadow has become the signature of his work. His experimental approach tries to utilize various media to create worlds and capture realities, pushing the spectators to examine questions around the meaning of art and complacency with their surroundings. Amir Hazim took part in several group exhibitions, including the RAF 3rd Edition in Ramallah with Zawyeh Gallery in 2022.
