Abid Farhan is an artist who grew up in Ilford, London. Moving back home ha s been the source of inspiration for his practice, which looks at spaces, how they hold our memories, and reflect back to us the stories of our lives. Being of Bengali descent, the works sometimes draw on his diasporic experiences, examining the tensions created by immigration and growing up between two countries. His work shifts between multiple media, guided by the idea.

Shot somewhere near Ipswich 

Using Nikon DSLR, old Olympus camera, Premiere Pro, Touch Designer For the song ‘We don’t talk about it’ by Joe Gray we filmed in an abandoned factory, somewhere in Ipswich, reachable only by a hidden pathway in a dense knot of nettles and branches. A large site once surely active with a lot of people, right next to the highway it now lays dormant fading away in plain sight. this formed the basis of the concept reflecting the alienating instrumental and distant lyrics in the visual world. Unable to tell where exactly Joe is. ultimately
