Biography:
Mona Hatoum was born into a Palestinian family in Beirut in 1952. She went
to England on a visit in 1975 and stayed on when the outbreak of the civil
war in Lebanon prevented her returning. She studied at the Beirut University
College, the Byam Shaw School of Art and the Slade School of Art in London.
Hatoum first became known in the early 1980s for a series of performance and
video works that focused with great intensity on the body. By the early
1990s her work had shifted towards installation and sculpture. She now lives
in London and Berlin.
