Toxic Waste: Omer Fast

Omer Fast is an artist and filmmaker. Much of his work explores the psychological structure of trauma and the retelling or representation of current or historical events. The artist’s videos subvert the formal conventions of various film genres and critically analyze information-disseminating media.Frequently based on a historical event or current point of reference, Fast’s film work defines a new relationship between reality and fiction. The artist is interested in the way narratives are constructed, specifically the change (hi)stories undergo when recounted by different voices and from diverse points of view.
