Pixels of Memories بكسلات الذاكرة

Pixels of Memories explores memory, destruction and erased history through fragmented Google Maps screenshots from Iraq. Hameed collects visual glitches, gaps and missing views, transforming digital errors into testimonies viewers must decode deeply.

The book project Pixels of Memoriesبكسلات الذاكرة combines conceptual reflections on memory, destruction and the invisibility of history. The book takes up this visual language and creates a fragment of memories, image errors and gaps. It becomes a space of testimony and reflection in which viewers must decipher the layers of images and their meaning. Hameed has scoured the entire map of Iraq on Google Maps and compiled an archive of hundreds of screen shots. In Iraq, the 360-degree views are not uploaded to the platform by the company itself, but by private individuals. Hameed is particularly interested in the errors and gaps he comes across during his research.
