Matilda Aslizadeh’s video installations are characterized by dense visual surfaces and unexpected juxtapositions drawn from a range of photographic, cinematic, and painterly influences. Deeply invested in exploring the critical potential of immersive spectacle, the ambivalent centrality of storytelling in human existence, and the fluid threshold between documentation and fictionalization, Aslizadeh’s work locates political thinking firmly within affective experience. Her projects have been exhibited internationally in galleries and festivals, including solo exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery, AC Institute (New York), Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery and Emmedia (Calgary) and group exhibitions at the Audain Museum (Whistler) and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto. She is based in Vancouver, on the unceded territories of the Skwxwú7mesh, Tsleil-Waututh, and xwməθkwəýəm Nations.
