Indian by birth, Pakistani by migration and British by choice, these cultural paradoxes contribute to Ali Zaidi's creative speculation around issues of identity and representation. Working across diverse art forms, including film, live art, installation and digital technologies, Zaidi creates fresh participatory experiences for new audiences. Recent projects include Indian Call Centre interviews for Alladeen, screened at The Whitney Museum, New York, as part of 'The American Effect'; Mix & Match, a live performance presented at Romaeuropa Festival 2003; Fresh Masaala, an installation presented at Warwick Arts Centre, Nottingham and The Lab, San Francisco and touring to South Africa in Autumn 2004. Zaidi is currently working on cutout, a video triptych - developed collaboratively with New York's dbox - which explores the alleged homogeneity of the 21st Century world and will tour to Singapore, New Zealand, South Africa and India in 2005.
