An Unforeseen Situation 2015 Directed by Bani Abidi
An Unforeseen Situation refers to a series of orchestrated mass events and spectacular individual feats hosted by the Punjab Ministry of Sports in 2014 during which multiple world records were reportedly broken by Pakistan. Picking up from the popular rumors, newspaper clippings and video footage surrounding the events, the artist examines notions of patriotism, masculinity and foulplay through a fictional narrative based on real events.
