Bani Abidi

 

 

 

 

Reserved. 2006
Two channel video installation, 8 min

The video, commissioned by the Singapore Biennale, is a fictious portrait of a city giving the impression of being under siege, but is actually awaiting the arrival of a very important person. It is a metaphor for the submissiveness with which Pakistan seems to accept all demands.
