This first solo exhibition in Montreal by Palestinian artist Basma al-Sharif brings together three short films — Capital, A Field Guide to the Ferns, and O, Persecuted — and the feature-length Ouroboros. Blurring the boundaries between domestic space and the political arena, the artist examines the fragility of our personal environments and their impermanence — regardless of how unyielding and imposing our built environments and institutional structures might appear. In al-Sharif's work, the word border multiplies in meaning, delineating physically and geographically but also across landscapes of affect. Exploring narratives where official history and politics infiltrate personal lives, the artist questions the validity of images and representation, whether they too are construed by imposed ideologies.
