Farah Al Qasimi
Desert Dreamscapes, 2024
Farah Al Qasimi explores the unspoken social norms and values imbedded in a place, a moment or an object.
Here we find her inventing her own dreamscape bedroom, filled with objects that have significance to her; with outmoded television technology standing next to a high-tech orb displaying up-to-the-minute phone messages from friends. Through bringing together childhood memories with the here-and-now, Al Qasimi creates a safe space, were it not for the eeriness of the encroaching desert.
Recent exhibitions include a solo room at Tate Modern (2023 ongoing); Toy World at The Third Line, Dubai (2024); Abort, Retry, Fail, Delfina Foundation, London, UK (2023).
