Working across performance, installation, video, sculpture and printmaking, documenting everyday life, architecture and disappearing spaces in the UAE, Ammar Al Attar’s practice transforms ordinary environments into visual archives exploring memory, routine and cultural change.

Key works include the Door Series, presented at Proximities, while Silent Residues (2025), his first solo exhibition, marked a major milestone in his career through its exploration of routine, performance and selfhood within changing environments.

Through his work, he continues to shape contemporary visual culture in the UAE with a distinctive, research-driven approach to documenting lived experience.
