Basir Mahmood
22 Oct 13 – 8 Jan 14
(Pakistan)
Using video, film and photography, Basir Mahmood weaves various threads of thoughts, findings and insights into poetic sequences and various forms of narrative. In order to engage with situations around him, he examines ordinary social and historical terrains alongside his own personal milieu.
At Gasworks he intends to use the aesthetics of documentary to explore the everyday reality of a completely foreign context.
