Jayce Salloum is a media artist and cultural activist who
has worked in installation, photography, performance and
video since 1975. His residency at the Govett-Brewster sees
a continuation of his ongoing project untitled, a video
installation of single-channel works addressing social and
political realities and conceived as, “an approach to
research or reading, an active living archive”. His work
engages with issues of globalism, imperialism and the notion
of borders, documenting the lives and opinions of displaced
peoples, activists and victims in places such as Lebanon and
the former Yugoslavia. During his residency Salloum will
develop new work exploring similar issues within a New
Zealand context like the recent Terrorist Suppression Act.
Jayce Salloum is a Govett-Brewster International Artist in Residence. This Taranaki residence programme is presented in partnership with WITT and is supported by Creative New Zealand.
