modification whilst not confining to it completely- which is visible in his
digital prints and installations.
The quality Rashid Rana has to create an impossible image of
immense beauty from his personal accumulation of photographs of social waste,
taken mostly from a landfill site outside Lahore Pakistan
The Rashid Rana Art exhibition entitled “Labyrinth of
Reflections:” was open at the Mohatta Palace Museum Karachi on the 17th of February 2013 .
In this exhibition, spanning from 1992 to the present encompassing more than 60

challenge the viewer’s understanding of the world in which they live. You can see
photo sculptures large stainless steel works and large scale photo mosaics,
installations and new video work subvert perception of size and structure and
urge us to look deeper into the relationship between the fragment and the
bigger picture. It is true that each time finding a freshness of purpose, and a
surprising inventiveness of visual language.
