Faisal Karadsheh is a Jordanian-Palestinian multidisciplinary artist based between Tkaronto/Toronto and Abu Dhabi . His artistic practice explores how a body - which consumes space and assumes time - adapts, reproduces and constructs itself. Through a process of collecting and preserving material remnants, such as waste, sound traces and digitized 3D scans, he ultimately works towards redefining sociocultural meanings around the intricate relationship within the body and its environment, seeking to conceive them as one.
Karadsheh's work spans across various media including painting, sound, video, installations, performance and extended reality, with his most recent presentations at Kingston School of Art, InterAccess and 401 Richmond.
