Muvindu Binoy Sri Lankan , b. 1989
Muvindu Binoy (b. 1989, Sri Lanka) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is focused predominantly on digital collage and film. He uses the internet as a primary archive to create collages that interrogate the cracks in our social world, systems of fate and ‘online’ realities with a tone of absurdist humour and uncanny truths. He explores themes of gender, agency, title and the expectation of traditional values and the contradictions of modern living through the digital manipulation of images.
He was selected for the Cité Internationales des Arts residency in France in 2021 and the Ya Connect Artist-in-Residence in Sri Lanka in 2019. His work has been featured at Pop South Asia: Artistic Explorations in the Popular at Sharjah Art Foundation (2022), Jawahar Kala Kendra, India (2019) and the Colombo Art Biennale (2016).
