2012. Video installation, various time durations – Color, Video, Iran

Working with archival images from a key historic moment, iconic images from a Revolution, these studies explore notions of duration (cinematic and historical), memory (virtual and image-based), and what effects these have on a sensorial level and on our emotions (affect) as historic and possibly “revolutionary” subjects.

Repetition, as a principle of memory, as an aesthetic device, a space for inscribing meaning. Repetition as historical mimesis, as an eternal return, as a possibility for reinvention. Repetition as a questioning of agency, as a part of human nature. With music by Bani Khoshnoudi.
