The Beauties of Lucknow, installation at Massey College Toronto, 2023, photo by Toni Hafkenscheid |
Artist and filmmaker Oliver Husain is based in Toronto, Canada. His projects are often collaborations with other artists and friends; and often begin with a fragment of history, a rumour, a personal encounter or a distant memory. He uses a wide range of cinematic languages, technical experiments and visual pleasures — such as dance, puppetry, costume, special effects — to animate his research and fold the viewers into complex narrative set-ups. |
