Uncovering elegant simplicity in the everyday, Nashashibi’s quietly observational films capture a sense of place at a particular time. With 16mm camera in tow, she moves through public areas (in the Palestinian territories, Glasgow, and recently New York), perceiving how people utilize their neighborhoods. Eyeballing (2005) reveals how the recognition of a face in the most abstract of scenes is one of the most automatic of human responses. Nashashibi (who lives in Glasgow) represented Scotland in the 2000 Venice Biennial and received the Beck’s Futures award in 2003. She has exhibited extensively internationally.
