Description
Allan deSouza restages in humorous, intimate and disquieting ways relationships between the material body and anxieties about place as experienced through migration, tourism, and staying home. Known for creating images of elusive sensuality,much of deSouza’s work explores the conditions and consequences of racial, sexual, and temporal frames. Using his body and landscape as points of departure, his mixed-media photographic works combine illusion and pseudo-biographical narrative to explore the instability of memory and the pull between things familiar and foreign.
deSouza’s 2010 exhibitions include at the Walther Collection, Germany; the Pompidou Centre, Paris; the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum, Kansas; and two solo exhibitions, The Farthest Point, at the Krannert Art Museum, Illinois, and The Course of Empire, at Loyola University, New Orleans. Previous exhibitions include the Gwangju Biennale, South Korea; 3rd Guangzhou Triennale, China; ev+a Festival, Ireland, and a 10-year retrospective at Talwar Gallery, Delhi. deSouza is studio faculty and Chair of New Genres at SFAI.
