Synopsis

Runa Islam’s films are replete with vivid images that enthrall the viewer with their poetry. Using and reflecting on the medium of film is a pivotal part of her work. In detailed interviews with the artist, this book sheds light on her work during the last five years.

Runa Islam was born in Bangladesh in 1970 and today lives in London. She deconstructs linear narrative patterns and time sequences, making the act of seeing—both watching and recognizing what is seen—the central focus of her films. In 2008, Islam was nominated for the Turner Prize for visual art.
