Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Ali Cherri is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker currently based in Paris. His practice emerged from a focus on the archival and the archaeological, often investigating how historical artifacts and landscapes are preserved, displayed, or transformed over time.

Cherri works across video, installation, and sculpture to interrogate the relationship between human history and the physical world. His projects often center on the tension between the permanence of monuments and the fragility of the environments they inhabit, drawing heavily from the cultural geography of the Middle East.

His work continues to receive international recognition through major institutional exhibitions and outdoor sculpture commissions. Most recently, he has been selected to contribute site-specific installations to the 2026 outdoor sculpture trail at Hauser & Wirth Menorca, further cementing his presence in the global contemporary art circuit.
