We meet Zarina Bhimji at De Appel where she is completing the installation of the viewing room for her films Yellow Patch (2011) and Waiting (2007). She tells us she doesn’t like interviews, tries to avoid them even, yet her words are warm and the conversation inevitably moves towards her work.

A certain simplicity of means, true luxury of life

The manner in which he interweaves art and life is as unique as it is exemplary. You could call it relational aesthetics avant la lettre. Yet it was not the generation of Rirkrit Tiravanija and Liam Gillick who rediscovered the work of this artist who was already active in the late Sixties.
