And a promise of return. Parts of the body carry an archive of sensorial memory that transmits experiences, evocations and traumas across generations. Conceptually, I draw inspiration from Édouard Glissant’s writing, specifically Poetics of Relation, his conception of Rhizomatic and fluid identity, and ideas of rootedness and uprootedness. Ishaq’s practice incorporates land and soil, recognizing its symbolic significance as both a beginning and an endpoint, a transtemporal portal, an archive of migration.

of Home, Reid Gallery, Glasgow 2023 MFA Interim Exhibition 2019, Goldsmiths, London. Film and sculptural installations exhibited&nbsp; https://gsaexhibitions.co.uk/exhibition/articles-of-home-asuf-ishaq/ The film begins with a translucent head rising from the soil, comprehending its own corporeality and surveying its surroundings, perhaps an alien life form dropped into the woodland, or a terrestrial being exhumed from the soil. In this landscape, things and sounds are disorientated, inverted and displaced. The movement of the trees above appears unfamiliar and cybernated, and the psithurism is electronic Represents the silenced objects or things in the racial imaginary in which people are reduced to the non-human, and classed as lesser species, in another words closer to ‘nature’. He incorporates land and soil, recognizing its symbolic significance as both a beginning and an endpoint, a transtemporal portal, an archive of migration. For Foucault, the body is a static conduit for biopower, but perhaps here it is also more active. Maybe the transhuman body in Not Quite Alive is a mediator, a translator, a prosthetic mouthpiece for the archival, passive yet omniscient soil and the legacies of colonialism carved into it. Its testimony, a detuned, ambiguous voice, recites lines from Sun Ra’s The Satellites Are Spinning: ‘The satellites are spinning / A new day is dawning / The galaxies are waiting / For planet Earth’s awakening.’ (Sun Ra, 2020). Satellites must spin to remain stable in relation to the rotation of the Earth. They must be dynamic and evolving but outwardly appear constant.

I move through spaces, gathering up histories and memories that are lost or covered over in the movement of displacement, and begin to produce new knowledge. I explore the photograph with my mother, and involve her in my practice, a space where we normally would not overlap. I sensually explore both the surface of skin and of the photograph, untangling my mothers memories and thoughts. Bright space of the virtual environment, my reality, where the photograph is in the process of being restored. Photograph is a transitional and a transnational object, objects can be considered as any external object that a person partially incorporates in the process.&nbsp;Different times and spaces are explored, similar position in the house where the wall is always present and standing. Just as my mothers faith and pray, always solid as the wall and constant in her life, which has got her through difficult times.

Tape letters or voice recordings of the 1960’s/70’s diaspora communities in UK, a British history that included Ishaq’s parents from Kashmir. I am exploring these intimate relationships and communication through technology, and voice messages. This is ongoing new project, Bishopsgate Institute London have an archive of tape cassette letter recordings of Pakistani’s who migrated to United Kingdom.&nbsp; Ishaq’s works in ‘hybridity’ or hybrid forms, just as I navigate through my cultural identity. Mixing documentary, fiction, personal, and experimental genres, as well as different media and mediums, such as cement/plaster, metal, film and photography. By pushing the limits of any one of these genre, this hybrid way of working forces each genre to explain itself, to forgo any transparent relationship to the reality it represents, and to make evident the knowledge claims on which it is based. My way of working is in a position to do archeology, to dig up the traces that the dominant culture overlooks, and for that matter any fixed cultural organization. <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1f85c79281e232f332075b0e5e18cb716778c075cfa57a3e7e076243a25bfbe7/IMG_4173.jpg" data-mid="194752942" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1f85c79281e232f332075b0e5e18cb716778c075cfa57a3e7e076243a25bfbe7/IMG_4173.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3d1d3a3487895dca3d7a5af32878b1ab7a22767b12629094f7b86097ffc50bc/IMG_4169.jpg" data-mid="194752943" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3d1d3a3487895dca3d7a5af32878b1ab7a22767b12629094f7b86097ffc50bc/IMG_4169.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1335" width_o="2000" height_o="1335" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1f7a56608934ebece5d5c9b518ea3ce455682eba12ce277ef5b01d23902053eb/52677345673_a9b4e2c09b_o.jpg" data-mid="194753183" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1f7a56608934ebece5d5c9b518ea3ce455682eba12ce277ef5b01d23902053eb/52677345673_a9b4e2c09b_o.jpg" /> Articles of Home Exhibition, Reid Gallery, Glasgow 2023 https://asufishaq.net/Articles-of-Home-Film-2022 Mon, 23 Oct 2023 22:41:21 +0000 Asuf Ishaq https://asufishaq.net/Articles-of-Home-Film-2022 Articles of Home (Excerpt)2021HD Film, CGI10 minutes&nbsp; Awarded film commission by Image Behaviour at ICA London, 2021 Film ‘Articles of Home’ is a commission by ICA London for Image Behaviour, which is an annual convening dedicated to experiments in artists’ moving image. ‘Articles of Home’ narrates migration experience as told through a relationship with objects and places; in this case things left behind by the artist's mother when she migrated to Britain. She hides her precious belongings in her cooking pot, burying them in the ground, a promise of return to reclaim them. His mother’s home village in Kashmir, Pakistan, is submerged underwater for part of the year because of the new water Mangla dam. During the dry season, the land is available for farming. ‘Articles of Home’explores what happens when this space can only be accessed temporarily, just as a recollection of memories. Ishaq deploys computer-generated graphics to reimagine the flooding village and uses photographs as a reference and memory landscape.

This way the project is dedicated to imagining "difference", and "otherness" anew.
