OVERVIEW
Ala Jazayeri was born in Iran three years after the Iranian Revolution and one year after the commencement of the Iran-Iraq war. Her recent work explores the relationship between place, memory, and dislocation in connection to the emotional and affective investments they provoke and generate. At present she is returning to various sites which were formative in her childhood and adolescence growing up in southwestern Iran during the eight-year war, but which have since been either irrevocably lost or transformed for better and for worse. Her work tries to capture how we remember belonging, and a sense of attachment which can never be fully recovered, just as it is suffused with a profound sense of mournful loss for a place which is both familiar, and yet ceased to be wholly recognisable. She currently lives and works in London, UK. She achieved BA degree in Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Arts (UAL) in 2015. She subsequently obtained a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London.
