In this interview, Basma Alsharif (b.1983) examines the multiple ways in which her work engages with the notion of nomadism. Beginning with a discussion of how she initially came to video through photography, Alsharif describes how this transformation of her practice required a translation of artistic sensibilities. The artist feels this displacement between media gave her the tools to critically engage with the displacement she felt as a Palestinian-American. In her work Alsharif manifests this idea by experimenting with different modes of communication and by using a variety of technical manipulations to complicate the seamlessness of video’s temporal narrative.
