Yinka Shonibare who recently exhibited at the MCA, although mostly references culture and identity can also be viewed under narrative and time. His films tend to be a repetitive series of events featuring vaguely historical characters. When i watched his film Odile and Odette and Un Ballo in Maschera at the MCA as a viewer i found i lost all sense of time and felt quite disorientated after. Through the slow movements, repetition and lack of any coherent narrative I became wrapped up in the minutest details of the film and was forced to notice what i otherwise might have missed.

GREAT - artist for art and Narrative... as his work tends to critique the so called Historical Narrative of Colonization and the British Empire in general!
Thanks Alex!
