Uriel Orlow teaches at University of the Arts, Zurich (ZHdK) and at University of Westminster, London as well as at Maumaus ISP, Lisbon.
Orlow's practice is research-based, process-oriented and often in dialogue with other disciplines and people. Projects engage with residues of colonialism, spatial manifestations of memory, social and ecological justice and plants as political actors. His multi-media installations focus on specific locations, micro-histories and forms of haunting. Working across installation, photography, film, drawing and sound his works bring different image-regimes and narrative modes into correspondence.
