Description: The Last Known Pose' is a collection of written and visual responses to the works of British artist Qasim Riza Shaheen. Essays, reflections and conversations, by eminent scholars, curators, artists and collaborators, consider the multiple aspects and the experience of his works.0Through depictions of his own body and a vocabulary of simulation set within the photographic frame, Shaheen?s inter-disciplinary and socially-engaged practice explores notions of gender, atypically through the poetics of Sufism and the performance of cultural texts.
Notes: Text in English and Urdu.
