Born in 1988 in India. Based in Mumbai, India.
Rahal weaves together fact and fiction to create counter-mythologies that interrogate narratives shaping the present. Rahal’s myth world takes the shape of sculptures, performances, films, paintings, installations, video games, and AI programs, that he creates by drawing upon sources ranging from local legends to science fiction, rendering scenarios where indeterminate beings emerge from the cracks in our civilization.
Exhibitions include the Biennial of Moving Images at Centre d'Art Contemporain in Geneva, the Gwangju Biennale, the Liverpool Biennial, the Kochi Biennale, the Vancouver Biennale, MACRO Museum Rome, Kadist SF, ACCA Melbourne, and CCA Glasgow. He is the recipient of the Cove Park/Henry Moore Fellowship, Akademie Schloss Solitude Fellowship, the Sher-Gil Sundaram Arts Foundation Installation Art Grant, the Digital Earth Fellowship, the first Human-Machine Fellowship organized by Junge Akademie ADK, the Eyebeam Democracy Machine Fellowship 2024, and ‘Enter the Hyperscientific’ fellowship program organized by EPFL Pavilions in Lausanne, Switzerland.
