Biography
Omer Fast's video work is steeped in social, political, geopolitical and historical issues; it questions the statuses of image and word by superimposing different registers — reality and fiction, original and copy, document and artifice. Taking as its starting point questions relating to language, translation and identity, his work, which involves both film and visual expression, examines the construction of narratives and how they alter as they get passed on and mediatised.
