Vijay Masharani
Selected Videos

From September 11 to October 31, 2026
Opening on September 11 at 5 pm

This selection of short films and video loops by Vijay Masharani sequences together a glossary of images that are both disparate and dense in meaning, including an Alberto Giacometti sculpture, California’s 2019 forest fires, American neighbourhoods and subway stations, Google headquarters, YouTuber Arab Andy, and the U.S. Army Signal Corps crest. Out of this string of signifiers emerges an ambience ornamented by the visual superscripts of technocracy, colonial regimes, racial violence, and violence against the ill. Masharani’s critical practice of looking concentrates so sharply it seems to see through the image, exposing what might be behind—apparitions, glows, and black holes that are possibly the afterlives of images. The artist's use of phone cameras, 360 video, pencil drawing, and 3D animation is indifferent to technological spectacle and high-production values, reorienting instead toward the question: what is worth our limited amount of time?
