lujain tamer mansour




Lujain Tamer Mansour (b.2003) is a London based artist and filmmaker from occupied Jerusalem. Taking a psycho-automatic filmmaking, drawing and sculpting approach, her work centres the play between childhood recall and Palestinian mysticism as an idle examination of wider conditions of exile involving the ‘Jerusalem Center of Life Policy’ and its implication on the passing psyche. 

While completing her studies at the Slade School of Fine Art (UCL) in 2025, she developed a system of chronic diary keeping as an archival practice of preserving that of which is fragile and disappeared.

Memory bleeds into the mundane, all the time.
Memory bleeds into dreams, all the time.
The residue is everywhere, all the time.
