Asif Mian featured in Hyperallergic

“Asif Mian’s rack of plastic couture, titled “Nothing & Specter” (2018), also made a strong impact. It operates in tandem with two video pieces featuring footage shot on thermal cameras. One is a live feed of “Nothing & Specter,” which periodically inflates and deflates; the other is a recorded performance titled “Breath Ascent Reveal” (2018). Together, these three works form a triptych that seems to comment on the invisibility of minority suffering within a consumer society. The image of Eric Garner saying “I can’t breath” immediately comes to mind when viewing the installation, an ominous contrast to how much the live thermal video of “Nothing & Specter” resembles the silhouette of a Ku Klux Klan member’s costume.”
