The Vault’s Artist Launch: Sufian Samsiyar | Koja:nis

PUBLISHED January 6th, 2014 04:52 am | UPDATED May 9th, 2018 03:13 am

The work of Sufian Samsiyar responds the complex issues surrounding urbanity that present themselves in our landscape and architecture today. His series of work, titled ‘Koja:nis’ is based on the cult film ‘Koyaanisqatsi’ (Life out of Balance) directed by Godfrey Reggio, which reflects a sense of disillusionment to modern life through footages of cities and natural landscapes across the United States. Reggio commented that the pervasiveness of technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breath in; Sufian’s work reflects upon this notion and seeks to explore how this is apparent in the decay within our landscape today.

Gary is one of those proverbial jack of all trades… you know the rest. When not writing about lifestyle and culture, he dabbles in photography, graphic design, plays four instruments and is a professional wearer of bowties. His greatest weakness: spending more money on clothes than he probably should. Find him across the social world as @grimlay
