Projects

The news that has been published in the newspapers throughout the past six months up to now is contained in these handmade papers. As a context for interaction, these papers provide a connection between me and the passers-by.

“Hidden Land” investigates the rise and fall of Haft Tappeh Sugarcane Agro-Industry Company’s first factory, which was built on the ruins of an ancient city that survived Iran’s economic, political, and religious prosperity throughout the Elamite period.

“Joustujoo” is an attempt to uncover discarded/lost pieces of history; an attempt to recover the theses defended by students at the University of Tehran during 1978-1979. Recovering documents as discourses that are sometimes in conflict and sometimes forgotten or lost in the hidden layers of history.

“The installation title was inspired by Amir Naderi’s film of the same name.”

Joustujoo means search.

“A Place to Live” is a personal journey about my emotions and relationships with the environment…

“Fragments” is a personal experience of what it feels like to be in the least secure circumstances. I carried my fragments to the street and intermingled with the very insecure shadow that had frequently surrounded me

‘8814701’ is a calendar that was printed on the pages of my thesis and articles in the least expensive and most reproducible form, and presented on the street.

When Neda a-38-year old housewife sent me intimate photos of her son I was facinated by the demotratic aspect of photography. Part of the photos of this project has been taken by the mothers of three children with autism- housewives from low-income communities whose photos are reflective of the low quality of their mobile phones.
