During the war on Gaza in 2014, he released the statement of empowerment “A Declaration of Independence” which stated, “From this day onward, I declare that I am a citizen of planet earth and beyond. I am from everywhere and nowhere. No geography or culture defines me.”
Blurring fact and fiction, love and loss, this gorgeously designed memoir traces one man’s arduous search for liberation from within, through a confrontation with his colonized imagination.

About the Author
In 2008, Sabella also received the Ellen Auerbach Award from the Akademie der Künste (ADK) in Berlin, leading to the publication of his first comprehensive monograph, Steve Sabella Photography 1997-2014. The esteemed Hatje Cantz Verlag published the monograph in collaboration with the ADK, with texts by Hubertus von Amelunxen, president of the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, and a foreword by the known art historian Kamal Boullata.
Sabella received a BA in Visual Studies from the State University of New York in 2007. Through a Chevening Scholarship, he earned an MA in Photographic Studies at the University of Westminster, London, graduating in 2008 with a Caparo Award of Distinction. In 2009, he earned his second MA in Art Business at Sotheby's Institute of Art, London.
Sabella has published numerous essays on the art world and is currently preparing to publish his book The Artist's Curse, a series of epigrams, micro-narratives, tips and concise analyses of the art world as it looked till 2020. And coming to light soon is the artist's book, The Secrets of Life. Through his art and writing, Sabella works beyond narratives of exile, transcending culture and nationality, and advocating for global citizenship.
Sabella's work is held in the British Museum collection in London, The Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, and the Arab World Institute in Paris, among other museums and prominent private collections.
Sabella's solo exhibitions include a major retrospective, Archaeology of the Future, at the International Center for Photography Scavi Scaligeri, Verona, (2014)--with a book with the same title published by Maretti Editore.
