Shezad Dawood

(London)

Cowboys & Indians

Here is the other side of For A Few Rupees More which Shezad Dawood created for the Belluard. Born in London from an Indian father and a Pakistani mother, Dawood is fascinated by the mixture of Eastern culture and Western cinema. His conference, Cowboys and Indians, is a window to the cultural interactions between East and West. Interactions from which an art form is born, characterised by the desire of authenticity and imitation. Such as the Bollywood version of Reservoir Dogs, a Pakistani Taxi Driver – done after Scorsese’s version, or Shezad Dawood’s own fake remake of Antonioni’s Blow Up.
