The opening as it read in 2005
Mona Hatoum (Born 1952 in Beirut , Lebanon ) is a performance artist who emigrated from her native Lebanon to London in 1975 . Trained at both the Byam Shaw School of Art and the Slade School of Art between the years 1975 and 1981 . In 1995 she was nominated for the Turner Prize for her exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris , and for her show at the White Cube . In the early 1980s Hatoum began her artistic career with performance pieces, though later she moved from 'live' work to more mechanical installations, involving video , light , and sound . While mostly focusing on confrontational themes such as violence , oppression, and voyeurism, she has often made powerful references to the vulnerability and resistance, of our human bodies. During a visit to London in 1975, civil war broke out in Lebanon and she was forced into exile. With this shadow on her shoulders, her early works can be seen as a metaphor for eternal conflict and resistance. v t e1
