2020 – Sculpture Performance – Strasbourg
Coming from a country with a variable history, strongly anchored on the political and social history of Iran, my artistic approach, as much practical as theoretical, was focused on movements close to politics, the 1979 revolution, and their transformation in time.
Dementia is defined as a deep, global and progressive psychic weakening that alters the fundamental intellectual functions and disintegrates the social behaviors. This term can define well the state of my country.
The “Dementia”, will lead us to reflect on the ruins that history has bequeathed to us, of what we will leave behind us after our presence in society. And thus to study the relationship that the man maintains to the ruins, to the destruction and to the violence according to the various conceptions of the time, the history and the memory
In this project I have made our memory with the stains of all the personal and political events and as an Iranian woman artist I try to destroy this volume to look for the inner layers. By showing the violence against an artist and a woman.
The video projected is a censorship spell of the national television of Iran that tries to hide the reality in the country.
