Hashish, Time, Cybernetics : Bahar Noorizadeh

1 May-1 Jun 2019

Overview

The exhibition brings together two of the most recent films by Noorizadeh—Ultima Ratio Δ Mountain of the Sun (2017) and After Scarcity (2018). The latter was commissioned for the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement in 2018 and produced by the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, and will here be shown in London for the first time. In her work, Noorizadeh utilises fantastical sci-fi references and imagery to address wider political issues around globalisation and digital capitalism, explored against the legacy of the utopian ideas throughout history that continue to shape our visions of the future.
