Shimon Attie is a contemporary visual artist based in New York City. He is known for nuanced, often deeply researched projects situated between installation art, video and photography. His work encompasses time-based, site-specific public art, immersive mixed-media installations for exhibition spaces, photographic series that include the documentation of public interventions, monographs and new media. Attie's subject matter centers on marginalized histories and communities, examining instances of trauma, displacement and disenfranchisement while also highlighting themes of community, endurance, perseverance and humanity. Curator Hannah Klemm wrote, "Attie's practice explores ideas of space, place, social memory and identity. His multifaceted projects shine a light on what has been lost, buried or forgotten … expos[ing] the layers of history that construct our world."
