Between Earth and Sky. Installations and photography
At her exhibition "Between Earth and Sky" Iqra Tanveer does research on the realm of "personal reality" by using the light adaptation technique, installations and photography. By means of Tanveer's project the spectator is invited to speculate on what exactly the human mind or one's perceptions of actuality transform into the real from the unreal, and vice versa. Everything we see might be just an illusion. It may as well be a true picture. The outer world does not exist; it is a subjective reality at all times. The reality sphere for every one boils down to anything that purports to be non-illusory, a possibility akin to reality. The sphere is one of a kind; it is shaped by many factors e.g. the relationship between an individual and society, one's views on the state of things, one's emotional reactions. Anything within the bounds of imagination and grasp of the human mind is reality for a human being. In the meantime, a human being is the one who forms a judgment on the importance of events occurring in his/her life. To do so, man makes use of his personal experience, his understanding and beliefs. However, experience is doomed to be limited. As a result, anything outside the bounds of one's scope of experience becomes a myth. The world that surrounds us is a mental projection of the human mind, the product of the succession of our ideas and emotions. Iqra Tanveer was born in 1983 in Karachi, Pakistan. She participated in exhibitions held in India, Pakistan, USA, UAE, and Russia.
