Frieze London: Booth D33
Selma Feriani returns to Frieze London with a selection of works by:
FILWA NAZER
MAHA MALLUH
CATALINA SWINBURN
Frieze London 2025 | Selma Feriani Gallery
Selma Feriani Gallery is pleased to present works by Maha Malluh, Catalina Swinburn, and Filwa Nazer. Three artists whose practices investigate identity, environments, and cultural narratives through distinct material and conceptual languages.
Maha Malluh (b. 1959) will present Food for Thought (Azhar), 2025 from her acclaimed series Food for Thought, alongside Merwed, 2008, Photogram. MHer practice reflects the rapid social and cultural transformations of Saudi Arabia amid globalization and wealth. By repurposing everyday objects into assemblages and photograms, she constructs a material archive that both mourns and celebrates a shifting cultural identity.
Catalina Swinburn (b. 1979) reinterprets ancestral archives and symbolic materials, emphasising resilience in the face of loss and destruction. For Frieze London 2025, Swinburn will present Hizb, 2025, Woven paper piece made from astronomy studies and poetry verses from vintage books found in the Medina of Tunis and Kairouan, Hizb marks the starting point of a larger ritual arc and it is performed without written texts. Inspired in the intensifications and trajectories of the sonic form, texture and density of the ritual.
Filwa Nazer (b. 1972,) will present a new production created specifically for Frieze London. Known for her textile-based practice, Nazer explores the psychological and emotional identity of the body in relation to social and architectural spaces. Drawing on her background in fashion, she uses deconstructed clothing patterns, embroidery, and textile sculptures to reveal tensions between the intimate and the public, the personal and the collective.
Selma Feriani Gallery will be sharing Booth D33 with Carbon 12
