Born in 1964 in Nazareth, Israel, Sharif Waked lives and works in Haifa. With ferocious humor, Waked engages with the Middle-Eastern political conflict, turning terror into a somber cabaret. “Chic Point” (2003) is a seven-minute video that imagines "fashion for Israeli checkpoints”. Young men parade down the catwalk, gradually revealing their toned midriffs. The piece evokes military checkpoints where people have to show their stomach to soldiers to insure that they are not wearing an explosives belt. In “Jericho First”, Waked connects the first stage of the Oslo Agreement – Jericho First – with the violence of a hunting scene. An image of a lion attacking a deer found in a mosaic floor at Hisham Palace in Jericho is transformed using a mathematical function fed into a graphic design software.
Recent solo exhibitions include: Wolverhampton Art Gallery, United Kingdom (2014); Galeria Wschodnia, Lodz, Poland (2014); and Gallery One, Ramallah, Palestine (2015). His work has also been featured in a number of group exhibitions, including the Sharjah Biennial, United Arab Emirates: Provisions for the Future: Past of the Coming Days (2009); The Deutsche Bank Series at the Guggenheim: Found in Translation, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2011); Navigations: Palestinian Video Art, 1988–2011, Barbican, London (2012); Terms and Conditions, Singapore Art Museum (2013); Arab Contemporary: Architecture, Culture and Identity, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark (2014); Kubri al Hamir, Kallio Kunsthalle, Helsinki (2014); Arab Cultural Association Center, Haifa, Qalandiya International: Manam (2014); and Fire and Forget, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2015).
