Born in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, Husain studied film and media art in Offenbach, Germany and Gujarat, India. Today he lives and works in Toronto.
Oliver Husain's films and video works include music videos, 3-D-animations, performance and sometimes incorporate Bollywood dance choreographies. Shot in Germany, India, Indonesia, China and other places these works are playful travelogues of a space that never existed. Through the combination of computer generated sets with photographed film Husain creates an artificial ambience. Fabrics, hats, feathers interrupt smooth surfaces and connect that which happens onscreen with the space of the cinema.
