Concrete Shadows


Concrete Shadows is an exhibition by Ayesha Kamal Khan that toys with the transience of a place and its portability. It pokes fun at the inadequate transference of a place whose depth and breadth are impossible to fold, transport and translate in another context. All the while recognizing the need to compress distance and carry along a sense of place as you know it. The work makes tangible the ever-changing shadows from her street back home in Islamabad and stretches the impossibility of grasping something that is perpetually changing. Her work inflates everyday objects by tracing their shadows to unpack how much of their specificity is grounded in its location.
