Auto-erotic Asphyxiation
2011 project by MehreenM from Pakistan
As an allegory of human life, Murtaza’s emphatic theatricality suggests an idealized landscape suspect for the misguided illusions of the Absolute-the ultimate promise of technological prowess to find the Truth for us. In spite of her politically-charged imagery, Murtaza is less interested in political events per se; she is more concerned with exploring the process of mediating the essence of an event through images. Her narratives are based on what she calls “factions”–an idiosyncratic fusion of fact and fiction. The ingenious craftsmanship that goes into the making of her art, and the tentativeness with which its various elements cohere (like a jigsaw puzzle shaping up), allow Murtaza to defy, question and challenge authority without compromising her aesthetic integrity. Murtaza injects a radical instability into the deepest structures of her art, which feeds on science fiction and folklore. The viewer is stung by the disorienting worlds within the world of her art; seeming to have stepped inside a divided terrain, but with a porous border running between its two parts. In Murtaza’s work, East meets West meets East, hegemonies are dissolved, hierarchies are broken, and the clash of civilizations turns into a heady confluence. Mehreen Murtaza was born in Riyadh, KSA; received a Honors in BFA from BNU, Lahore, 2008. She was accepted for the Gasworks Residency funded by The Charles Wallace Pakistan Trust - Rangoonwalla Foundation Award, UK, 2010.
