Disruptions Text

In Disruptions Batniji uses screenshots from video-calls with his family back in Gaza, that are blurred by poor connections. These distortions, rather than obstructing his communication, become integral to the artist’s most recent series of paintings. Based on Telegram news chat images, before their violent content fully downloads onto the screen, they are still-unseen photos that the artist meticulously paints. The process prolongs the moment of ignorance, resulting in almost serene, fluid works on canvas that suspend time, as if negating an unspeakable reality and preventing it from happening.
