Outside (2024) Shohrab Jahan
Outside (2024)
Mixed media: book, table, wax sculpture, single-channel digital video projection, mirror, sound on speakers, 3.5m looped.
Last weekend, I saw some people gathering and singing outside- Money gonna come, money gonna come.
I was taking a video with my camera and talked to someone next to me, and I said, "I don't think they live here; they come from outside."
I am trying to remember whether the person responded to me or not. Does the person come from outside?
Shohrab Jahan is an interdisciplinary artist born in 1987 in Bangladesh. His practice is not specific to medium or process. Using a fictional thread, he creates visual and written stories that combine landscapes, social life, and political imagination. He explores materials to investigate vocabulary. He has showcased his work through publications, installations, and street activities. Shohrab has participated in exhibitions and residencies, including the National Exhibition and Asian Biennale in Bangladesh. In 2016, he presented his first solo project, "Tiger Still Pass at Tiger Pass," a site-specific event culminating in an indoor show. Shohrab is a founding member of Jog Art Space, an artist-led group that organizes the annual Cheragi art show in Bangladesh.
