Maria Hassabi

Maria Hassabi’s mesmerizing work takes its time, and asks its viewers to do the same. She relates the body to the still image and the sculptural object, interrogating the separation between performer and audience, the spectacular and the mundane. Her work has been lauded worldwide, including recent presentations at the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam) and the Hammer Museum (LA).

“With the decelerated velocity of my work, nuances that are usually dismissed become the center of the work.”
