Born in 1968 in Karachi, Pakistan, Ceal Floyer lives and works in London, where she received her B.A. from Goldsmiths College in 1994. A multimedia artist working in video, sound and light projection, works on paper, and sculpture, Floyer??™s work examines the dialectical tension between the literal and the mundane, and the imaginative construction of meaning. The deceptive simplicity of Floyer??™s work is informed by her particular sense of humor and awareness of the absurd; her use of double-takes and shifting points of view forces the viewer to renegotiate his perception of the world. She has been in exhibitions at Kunsthalle Dusseldorf; Esther Schipper, Berlin; Portikus, Frankfurt; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Casey Kaplan, New York; Kunsthalle Bern; Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin; Ikon Gallery, Birmingham; and in London at Lisson Gallery, Tate Britain, and Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA).
