Strange Land: A Thousand Solitudes is an audiovisual performance by visual artist Randa Mirza that explores the intersections of memory, colonial history, and archival practices in the Arab world. Reimagined for the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg 2026 to explore modernity’s paradoxes – individuality within the collective and the echoes of history in contemporary life – and in collaboration with musician Aya Metwalli, Mirza alters photographic documents from the Arab Image Foundation into a live, sensorial, and improvisational experience. Through sound and image, the performance investigates the history of photographic practices and the materiality of images, taking the audience into an ephemeral, reimagined past where archives become living and evolving narratives.
