Arabella Itani is a Welsh–Lebanese artist based in Wales, working across staged photography and moving image. Through meticulously constructed, cinematic environments, her work explores the performative nature of identity and the instability between artifice and reality.
Drawing on the visual language of fashion while operating within a fine art framework, she examines contemporary archetypes and the mechanics of the gaze through large-scale, highly produced tableaux that oscillate between spectacle and psychological intimacy.
Her work has been presented in both gallery and public contexts across the UK.
