Halim Al-Karim (Iraqi, b. 1963)

'The concept of my work is the future mentality of the urban society. I deal with the ongoing and unresolved issues of the urban society. All that is done by trying to avoid the affect of contemporary elements of brain wash. My artwork create visions of the violence to be absent from the urban society. By using out of focus technique and covering my images with silk, uncertainty of time and place in the subject of my photography, which are the hallmarks of my art, are created'
(Halim Al-Karim).
