Slought Foundation is pleased to announce "Dead Sweet," a storefront video by Aissa Deebi in which a woman consumes a chocolate soldier (DVD, 2002).
Aissa Deebi is a Palestinian artist born in Galilee, Israel/Palestine (1969). He has been based in the U.K. and the U.S. for the past eight years, during which time he has worked in photography and video art. Deebi’s work blurs the distinction between toys and what they represent and, by extension, fantasy and reality. The results are at once uncanny and grotesque, as his figures revealed fantasies based in childhood experiences of imaginative heroes and desires. Deebi completed his MFA in theory and practice in 1998 at Liverpool University. He has exhibited his work in Israel and internationally including at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art; the Haifa Museum of Contemporary Art; the University of Catania, Italy; Inner Mongolia Museum of Fine Arts, China, Deebi is Director of Visual Arts at ArteEast and an active art curator working in New York, the Middle East, and Europe.
