Namaste Nepal! Contemporary Artist Voices

Binod Shrestha

Artist Statement:

Binod Shrestha’s practice investigates the body as a metaphor situated in our collective consciousness. Through layers of artistic amalgamation accumulated through the years and straddling multiple cultures, Shrestha begins a conversation on body-politics, displacement, and the transient nature of memory in a personal, ritualistic, and reflective context.

Stories accessed through his artistic materials play a significant role in his research and production. Through objects, installations, and video works, Shrestha addresses the notions of identity, duality, and displacement, privileging materials that evoke sensation and memory. These materials are structured around vivid experiences, memories, and stories of his native Nepal.
