Omar A. Chowdhury (b. 1984, Bangladesh/Australia) is situated in historical Bengal—a vanished place of de-colonial nostalgia. Disoriented by this geographic and temporal rupture, he creates para-fictional environments that relate fields of objects, actions, and representations. They contain texts, films, performances, interventions, photographs, sculptures, sounds, and archives. These layered and elusive installations efface the partitions between what is real and what is not and leaves one uncertain about the past, whom to trust, and where one expects art to stop. The artist is based in Amsterdam and has exhibited and screened widely. He was acknowledged with postgraduate fellowships at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Netherlands and the Hoger Instituut voor Schone Kunsten, Belgium.
