Installation view of 'Robbery in Area A' by Yazan Khalili
Rebecca Close reviews Khalili's first solo in Dubai titled On the Other Side of the Law " which follows suit in visibilising the fine line between taking advantage of loop holes in the law and universal notions of justice in the highly contested contexts of settler colonialism. In a series of newly commissioned works, Khalili examines how the systems of law and notions of justice have been made extremely flexible to the point of dissolution by the use of high technology and manipulative public policies in certain contexts."
