When me and my dreams vanished in a day
Seyhoun Gallery, 2012
The installation is created with two main themes in mind: power, and time/memory. Power occupies us from a young age, it structures our experiences. Part of this project is about deciding who gets to—culturally— hold power, who gets to become our hero? This is an attempt to slow down, and to un-forget.
The tempo of tragedy and the circulation of its representations makes us forget; it stretches and folds time, so much happens, so much is forgotten. What happened only a few months ago? The time of injustice is ongoing (they are still in prison; they will lose the best years of their lives).
