Their practice is modular, open-ended, and experimental - rooted in system building and situated at the intersection of disciplines.

Mariam has participated in audiovisual festivals and group exhibitions, presenting live performances that incorporate multiple-channel video, site-specific projection mapping, live camera improvisation, and interactive installations.

Memory

Inspired by the work of women directors from the 1980s and 1990s who explored memory and the past through experimental film, this project utilizes a live video feed directed at a carefully assembled memory box.

Memory is contextual; it exists only through the perspective of the moment of recollection. That is, we insert our present selves into what has happened, and thus memory transforms each time.

The act of remembering becomes a form of self-invention - a rebuilding of the self, anew, every time.

Memory is condensed in objects.
