Rehana Zaman works predominantly with moving images to examine how social dynamics are produced and performed. Her work speaks to the entanglement of personal experience and social life, where intimacy is framed against bio politics.

Films and projects often emerge through conversation, collaboration, and cooperative process.

In this new short film for the biennial, the imperialist capitalist exploits of the Disney cartoon character Scrooge McDuck are placed alongside the apparently radical yet deeply compromised promises of crypto­currency. Between these two strands, possibilities for an alternative network of exchange and subsistence through discrete and minor actions are sought.

Rehana Zaman is an artist, educator, and grower based in London, UK. Upcoming exhibitions include Trinity Square Video, Toronto; British Art Show 9 (UK touring); and Serpentine Projects, London, UK (all 2021).
