Through video and multi-channel installations, Omer Fast enters the lives of individuals, merging personal stories and collective history, in a constant tension between reality and fiction. Fast is fascinated by the cinematographic exploration of liminal figures and professional roles, portrayed while evoking discourses arising from contemporary political and social events, like war and marginalisation. In his technically sophisticated HD videos, Fast shows a particular interest in provoking a ‘productive disorientation’ in the viewer by means of creating doubles, loops and repetitions. But even these loops and repetitions are somehow disrupted, by adding surreal images and special effects that remind the viewer of the need for a certain practice of attention, to solve narrative plots full of hints and intentions but with rare moments of closure.
