1-54 has interviewed multidisciplinary artist Shiraz Bayjoo, the designer of the visitor’s Lounge for the sixth London edition of 1-54 at Somerset House. Drawing from the colonial histories of the Indian Ocean region, he presents multi-media works and archival materials.
'I seek to draw contrasts and tensions through both storytelling and material, the digital and the hand crafted, culminating in installations of multiple objects and moving image – a multiplicity that draws upon the countless re-tellings of ourselves.' - Shiraz Bayjoo
