Alaa El Jebbeh
Born in 1987 in Baalbek, Lebanon, Alaa El Jebbeh’ s artistic trajectory is deeply informed by the layered cultural history of his birthplace. Growing up in a family of artists, he was immersed from an early age in the visual, conceptual, and philosophical dimensions of image-making. He holds degrees in Interior and Landscape Architecture from the Lebanese University in Beirut and specialized in Parametric Design at the University of Zurich.This multidisciplinary foundation underpins a practice that cultivates an evolving visual language, navigating the interplay between organic forms and synthetic systems.His first artistic exhibition marked a poignant exploration of how bodies, objects, and environments coexist within complex, interdependent networks, proposing a post-humanist notion of subjectivity one that extends beyond the human to consider matter, technology, and perception as mutually constitutive forces. Through this lens, his art explores transformation, relational dialogue, and renewal as inherent to the entangled vitality of the world.
“Humans do not make art and write because they are rational and free; rather, they are rational and free because they write and make art.”- Catherline Malabou
Metamorphosis explores the body as something in constant change , not fixed or separate, but part of a larger web of forces that shape who we are. The exhibition reflects on how our bodies and identities are being transformed by the systems around us, technological, social, and material ; and how, within this transformation, something deeply human still persists.The artworks question the old idea of the human as central and in control. Instead, they reveal a world where humans, machines, and matter are all intertwined. The body becomes a site of both control and resistance , marked by power, yet always capable of renewal and change.In this surreal vision, the boundaries between the organic and the artificial begin to fade. The figures and forms in Metamorphosis suggest that transformation is not a sudden break, but a continuous state of becoming: a movement between decay and vitality, order and chaos.Ultimately, this exhibition invites viewers to see the body not as a stable image, but as an evolving process, a reflection of the world’s shifting systems, and a reminder that even within collapse, new forms of life and imagination can emerge.
