RAJAT SHARMA - Visual Artist 

'Rajat is a visual artist from Delhi, having finished his Masters in Media Arts and Practices in Europe. He is currently pursuing his PhD in Hong Kong.
Mostly dealing in disciplines of Video Art, Printmaking and Digital Collages, his works resonate between theory and praxis.
His films and projects locate harmony between digital and analogue workflows. The political implications of his art do not rest on the reproduction of the subject matter but alter the social (and historical) reality through new modes of representation. These are not centred around replicating reality as one experiences it in our everyday lives but expose the contradictions of reality, thus revealing that social reality is not natural but perhaps subject to change. This formal abstraction allows him to politicise the aspects of social life one considers unquestionable.
His research primarily focuses on decoloniality, anti imperialism and perversions to statist ideologies in mainstream films and televisions.
