Farah Al Qasimi, Patterns

PATTERNS is a plunge into Farah-Al Qasimi’s obsession with motifs, love for colors, and questions around overconsumption and the longevity of objects. 

Her collection of PATTERNS bring our attention to unexpected details, oscillating between familiarity and strangeness, mise-en-scène and reality.

Farah Al Qasimi makes photographs, films and music. Often working with large-scale vinyl imagery and a multiplicity of photographic prints and screens, she is interested in the internet and its hierarchies of information and emotion. Al Qasimi loves the complexity of storytelling and value-building in children’s cartoons, and many of her video works include primary narrators who are anthropomorphized. Through a highly collaborative practice, she has worked with hand-sewn puppets, falcons, African Land Snails, exorcists, and a Jack Sparrow impersonator.
