Shahram Entekhabi is an Iranian-born artist, curator, and architect who has lived and worked in Berlin since the early 1980s. His multidisciplinary practice spans video, photography, drawing, performance, installation, and architectural intervention.
Central to his work are questions of migration, identity, and the construction of the “Other.” Entekhabi investigates how social, political, and cultural systems produce visibility and invisibility, and how individuals become marked within public space.
Many of his projects engage directly with urban environments, where the body appears as a site of negotiation between personal experience and collective structures. Through gestures, spatial interventions, and symbolic elements, his works reveal mechanisms of control, exclusion, and representation embedded in everyday life.
Entekhabi’s artistic practice often combines conceptual strategies with performative and visual experimentation, creating works that move between documentation, staging, and critical reflection.
Over the years he has collaborated internationally with artists, theorists, and institutions, including an extensive collaboration with the Dutch cultural theorist Mieke Bal, exploring migration and post-migration through visual and discursive formats.
His work has been presented in exhibitions, screenings, and public contexts internationally and continues to develop new approaches to questions of identity, displacement, and social perception.
