Shan Pipe Band Learns Star-Spangled Banner. 2004
Two channel video installation, 7:31 mins
The artist asked a Pakistani brass band from Lahore to rehearse the national anthem of the USA and accompanied them with a camera. The touching efforts to play in tune become a metaphor of the prolonged struggle with the colonial legacy and today's influence of the United States on Pakistan.
