- After Vilém Flusser
Composed of image fragments culled from the internet, old books and the artist’s own archive of work, Epistemologies is a visual poem describing different ways of knowing – as echo in the body, ruptured metaphor and glitch epiphany.
Artist bio: Maria Ahmed investigates historic and contemporary
languages of the image through collage and
appropriation, with a practice encompassing books,
prints and moving image. Her self-published artist's
books have been shortlisted for international book
awards including Images Vevey, Belfast Photofestival,
Skinnerboox/Fotografia Europea and Fiebre. She held
her first solo exhibition Slips and Burns at Photofusion,
London in 2023. She lives and works in London and
holds an MA in Photography Arts from the University of
Westminster (Distinction).
