One of Pakistan's most notable contemporary artists, Bani Abidi creates videos and multimedia works that interweave autobiographical fiction with socio-political

commentary and satire. Her practice explores the sobering realities of the political conditions, bureaucracy, and urban infrastructure in Asia, exposing the absurdities

emerging from the dysfunctionalities of everyday life. The Artist Who is the first monograph to look at the work of this Berlin-based Pakistani artist. Envisioned as an artist project, the publication explores notions of humor, playfulness and experimentation by engaging with forms of writing, design, printing, and assembly. Containing a documentation of artworks created over two decades as well as archival material and a rich selection of texts, it represents the wide range of relationships Abidi has fostered

during this period.

Reviews for Bani Abidi: The Artist Who

"The book teems with gridded film stills tracking the needling rituals of would-be visa applicants or a city street brought to a halt by a passing motorcade--storyboards that never get to the plot. The artist infuses her work with a humor more bitter than sweet.--Kate Sutton ""Bookforum"""
