Artwork Description
Untitled
In this video installation, the artist reproduces the context of a Nepali transgender woman. Real belongings and furniture of the film’s subject have been loaned to create a natural and private environment. A double projection then provides insight into the intricate life of transgender people of Kathmandu. Mahbubur Rahman is an artist for whom activism is not a dead word. The artist questions conventions and social values which are part of daily life. As an artist Mahbubur Rahman absorbs the environment he lives in, and transforms it into an artwork which functions as a critical mirror for the audience.
