Born in 1961, Khalil Rabah’s multidisciplinary practice explores displacement, memory and identity through architecture, ecological elements and speculative institutional frameworks in the form of installations. Studying Architecture and Fine Arts at the University of Texas at Arlington, USA, Rabah’s installations are often sizeable and aim to occupy a space between fiction and reality. His work manifests in the form of sculpture, installation, video, action and various interventions that articulate the very real situation of occupation experienced by Palestinians. Rabah’s ongoing project, Palestinian Museum of Natural History and Humankind, which has seen iterations exhibited in cities such as Athens, Istanbul and Amsterdam, playfully interrogates history as an accumulation of fact and artifice. Focusing on notions of objective truth and authenticity, Rabah’s bodies of work question and challenge the concept of archiving, documentation and the idea of museums themselves being repositories of objects and the construction of collective knowledge.
