Runa Islam Restless Subject (English Edition) Kunsthaus Zürich / Museum Folkwang

Runa Islam's work revolves around the medium of film and all its many facets. Born in Bangladesh in 1970 and currently living and working in London, Islam deconstructs linear narrative patterns and time sequences and makes the act of seeing – both in the sense of looking and of perceiving – the focus of her art. Her work is about questioning filmic illusion and laying bare the political structures that underpin the society we live in, although they may well prove hard to detect at first. Runa Islam's films are poetic, visually powerful creations that seem to cast a spell over the viewer.
