Visible Cities, 2015
Where can one flee, where find refuge? Space is nothing but a "horrible outside-inside".
G. Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
Visible Cities is a speculation, an inconclusive presentation of trip to Tehran. An experiment about evocative resonances of found objects and the emotionless memories in digital material. In this journey through fading remembrances, perception was absolutely transformed and subverted. Photography and video ended up as the utter substitute of the experience itself; while a diary and collected objects remained undiluted and free of manipulation. These pieces generate a shortcut to the experience, more sincere and less true than the real images.
