Ala Ebtekar (b. 1978 Berkeley, CA) is an artist who, for over two decades, has situated his practice as a relentless leveling and collapsing of time and space to bring steadying attention to the contemporary moment.

His work frequently orchestrates various orbits and cadences of time, bringing forth sculptural and photographic possibilities of the universe, and time, gazing back at us. This extensive research and making process borrows and physically reworks thousand year old image/object-making traditions up to the latest technological advances in production.
