George Rouy & Sharon Eyal BODYSUIT, Paris Premiere Chaillot Théâtre national de la Danse, Paris, FR 18 – 21 November
Mohammed Qasim Ashfaq’s visual language invokes the tessellation of Islamic ornament and mysticism alongside sharp technological precision, ideals of modernism and science fiction held in creative tension with traditions of craft and devotion. His monochrome graphite drawings are produced through an exacting line by line process with pencil, compass and ruler, shimmering between qualities of pure surface and limitless depth, echoing through worlds interior and exterior, cognitive and embodied, secular and sacred, to explore dichotomies of light and space, opacity and reflection, zero and infinity.
