The Damaged Planet – Uriel Orlow: Conversing with Leaves

Uriel Orlow: Conversing with Leaves

Uriel Orlow's practice is research-based, process-oriented and multidisciplinary, involving media including film, photography, drawing and sound. His multimedia installations focus on specific sites and micro-histories; they bring into correspondence a variance of image regimes and narrative modes.

As part of the lecture series "The Damaged Planet", Uriel Orlow presents his artistic practice in the context of an artist talk, thinking with plants as meaningful political actors and historical witnesses and thus enables an intersectional and decolonial reconfiguration of the "Anthropocene".

Recent solo exhibitions have been shown at La Loge, Brussels; State of Concept, Athens; Kunsthalle Mainz; Tabakalera, San Sebastian; Kunsthalle St. Gallen; Market Photo Workshop Johannesburg; Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers, Paris. Uriel Orlov's work has also been presented at the 54th Venice Biennale, Manifesta 9 & 12, Lubumbashi Biennale VI, 13th Sharjah Biennale, 7th Moscow Biennale, 8th Mercosul Biennale, Aichi Triennale, the Bergen Assembly and many other exhibitions. His monographs include Conversing with Leaves (Archive Books, 2020), Soil Affinities (Shelter Press, 2019) and Theatrum Botanicum (Sternberg Press, 2018).
