Idris Khan (born 1978 in Birmingham, England) is an artist based in London.〔(Biography ), Victoria Miro Gallery〕 Khan's work draws from a diverse range of cultural sources including literature, history, art, music and religion to create densely layered imagery that is both abstract and figurative and addresses narratives of history, cumulative experience and the metaphysical collapse of time into single moments. ==Life and career== Khan graduated from the University of Derby in 2001, he studied for an MA at the Royal College of Art in 2004.〔(www.iniva.org ) Idris Khan〕 Khan's photographs or scans originate from secondary source material – for instance, every page of the Qur'an, every Beethoven sonata, every William Turner postcard from Tate Britain, or every Bernd and Hilla Becher spherical gasholder.〔〔(Dan Hicks and Mary C. Beaudry 2006 ). Introduction: the place of historical archaeology. In Dan Hicks and Mary C. Beaudry (eds) The Cambridge Companion to Historical Archaeology. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, pp. 8–9 ()〕 Khan's interest in Islam and layered imagery can be traced back to his upbringing. Khan is a Muslim by origin. His father is from Pakistan. His mother converted to Islam after meeting his father. It was his father's idea that Khan – himself a non-practicing Muslim – photograph every page of the Qur'an. His work and process have been described as "experiments in compressed memories" and "all-encompassing composites." As Khan describes: " It is a challenge to not define my work as a photograph but using the medium of photography to create something that exists on the surface of the paper and not to be transported back to an isolated moment in time."〔 Khan's visual layering also occurs in his videos, such as ''Last Three Piano Sonatas…after Franz Schubert'', a three-channel video installation wherein he uses multiple camera angles to capture numerous performances of Schubert's last sonatas, composed on his deathbed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Idris Khan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
