Omar Chowdhury

Omar Chowdhury (b. 1984, Dhaka) fabricates installations and moving-image works staging ethical farces that subvert systems of authority. Luring audiences into plausible, beguiling worlds, his work eventually abandons them to cascading excess, slippage and fragmentation. Multi-channel screens and sound, altered objects, and exhibition architecture are composed cinematically, drawing audiences through environments that destabilise their sense of coherence.

He has recently presented at IFFR Tiger Competition (2025), Busan Biennale (2024), Contour Biennale 10 (2023), Haus der Kulturen der Welt and Annet Gelink Gallery. He attended the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam and lives and works in Brussels and Dhaka.
