Nasri Sayegh
Lebanon / France
Nasri Sayegh is a Lebanese-French visual artist, writer, DJ, and performer, born in Lebanon in 1978.
Working across photography, video, text, collage, and objects, his practice navigates the construction and erosion of memory in a landscape where histories remain fragmented and narratives severed. Drawing from personal, familial, and broader archival materials, Sayegh composes visual constellations that evoke an atlas or a cabinet of memory.
His work explores the fleeting, the blurred, and the ephemeral—images and traces that risk vanishing at any moment. Through processes of deconstruction and transformation, he traces intimate narratives shaped by impulse, absence, and recollection. His multidisciplinary approach brings together image and text in fragile assemblages that resist erasure, proposing a space where memory is continuously reconfigured between amnesia and persistence.
His work has been exhibited in Lebanon, France, and Dubai, and is currently presented at the Biennale of Sydney 2026.
