Through her photography and video practice, Iranian-born Nasim Nasr explores and comments upon both specific and universal cultural concerns in contemporary society. Her work has engaged complex issues of State and self-censorship, the transience of cultural and personal identity, and global concerns of civil, social and political unrest.
In this work, Nasim Nasr explores themes of the intercultural dialogue and the veiling of women through photography and video installation. Nasr is interested in the notion of cultural relationships and their role in western and eastern contemporary society.
Nasr’s artwork articulates the complexities within contemporary notions of transmutable identities and cultural difference, as experienced between her past and present homelands.
GAGPROJECTS @ ART STAGE SINGAPORE | 2013
GAGPROJECTS presents two new video works by 28 year old Iranian/Australian emerging artist Nasim Nasr in a project stand at Art Stage Singapore this January. Through her photography and video practice, Iranian-born Nasim Nasr explores and comments upon both specific and universal concerns in contemporary society. Her work has engaged issues of censorship, the transience of identity, and civil and social turbulence. Her latest video work articulates the complexities within contemporary notions of transmutable identities and cultural difference, as experienced between her past and present homelands. Her video installations respond to the oscillating conditions of being worried or unworried, and about major life issues and concerns in the Middle East region—a dance (of terminology and classification) between past and present that remains in the memories of people even if it does not officially exist in their daily lives; value, language and memory are activated, as are power and disempowerment.
