Science Faction: Larissa Sansour
Art AsiaPacific, Nov/Dec 2013, no. 86
Review of an exhibition called "Science Faction" by Palestinian artist Larissa Sansour. The artist's blockbuster-style video works contrast with the documentary style conventional seen in Palestinian art. Sansour utilizes the sci-fi genre to reflect the Palestinian tendency to look to the future using exhausted symbolism. The effects of the Lacoste Elysee Prize controversy on the artist's reputation and work are also discussed.
