Welcome to an Open Studio with Norwegian Sakib Khalid Saboor , where he will present the project he has been working on during his residency at Residency B28.
The objective of the residency is to develop Fortress of Shadows, a photographic project that documents the layered history of Suomenlinna through analogue and darkroom techniques.
Sakib Saboor aims to create experimental images that reflect how memory and history overlap across time. The residency will offer the focus, space, and context needed to expand his practice, explore site specific methods, and connect with an interdisciplinary artistic community.
The residency project Fortress of Shadows will explore the layered history of Suomenlinna through analogue photography and darkroom-based experimentation.
The island has been shaped by three distinct periods: Swedish, Russian and Finnish, each leaving visible and invisible traces in its architecture, landscapes and everyday life.
Sakib Saboor wants to document these traces not through straightforward representation, but by working with multiple exposures, photograms and experimental printing that allow shadows, textures and absences to emerge.
