Amina El-Edroos (b.1989) is a visual artist, photographer and art educator from Pakistan. Working primarily in digital media, she explores temporal and spatial representation in video and photography, documentation of the everyday urban and suburban space and most recently, belonging and identity as an immigrant. Her process involves a mathematical preciseness and extensive use of repetition, the grid and the technique of collage working as both, micro and macro image taking inspiration from the neo-miniaturist tradition. Earliest works focused on the visual representation of the duration and experience of time. Patterning and looping the duration of videos became symbolic of the cyclic nature of the everyday. Her most recent research-based work compares Islamic geometric principles to the code behind the digital interface as they both unfold from an infinite plane. The intention behind the work is to underscore the co-relation and contrasts betwen the eastern tradition and western contemporary context. Her work has been showcased in Pakistan, India, the UAE, the US and the UK. Her solo exhibition was at the 8B2 gallery in Pakistan.
She currently works and resides in London, UK.
