Zahid Jiwa
Zahid Jiwa is a Canadian fine art photographer and filmmaker. Jiwa’s work is often characterized by its complex iconography, thematic portrayal of obscure figures, and unclear cultural references. Existing somewhere between the built and the unbuilt, Jiwa’s compositions and subject matter hint at an obsession with the vanishing cinematic potential of the everyday condition, playing with symbols of historicity, time and aging to render the estranged sensation of urban and rural science fiction.
