Hypersurface of the Present, 2018, Installation- 7 pencil on papers (A1 to A3 sizes), wood, plaster, and thread, 10 ft by 6 ft , NARS Foundation, NY, USA
Hypersurface of the Present is a drawing installation that maps out how green light functions as a mode of spirituality perpetuated and disseminated by Pakistani nationalism, Islamic orientalism, populist green screen interface, and light therapy. The absurdist diagrammatic pencils on paper depicts visual perception essentially highlighting a green cone as a stand in figure for state hegemony. The materials presented are research materials around the artist’s in progress/extension animation series, Atomi Daamaki Wali Mohabbat (The Atomically Explosive Love).
