Ruhail Qaisar

Ruhail Qaisar is a self-taught artist from Ladakh, India. As a musician, he explores the confines of memory, the dry rot of intergenerational trauma, the eerie swarms of the human unconscious, incorporating vernacular concepts, poetic gestures, and improvised chaos.

The work serves to transmit sub-zero sound-collage memoirs based on real-life events and local mythos, as developed through his recollections of growing up in the frontier villages of the Ladakh region located in the high-altitude Himalayas, drones of hauntology disgracefully disturbed with spastic tremors of post-industrial delirium and cruel power-electronics.
