Can we understand the other person’s emotions, desires and identity through the images flashing through their mind?
The video animation by the Canadian artist of Iranian origin, creates a sensory-rich experience, a visual tapestry through rapidly transitioning frames, incorporating collage arts, photographs, and abstract 2D/3D forms, alongside fragments of black and white found footages and CGI-generated organic structures. Each frame flashing for mere fractions of a second, reminiscent of the rhythm of a techno party, creating a vibrant and almost stroboscopic effect, intricately weaves a narrative that bridges alienated nostalgia and cold futurism. The ambient sound loop, featuring a pulsating electronic soundscape juxtaposed with smooth female narration, enhances the visual experience and accentuates the dynamic contrasts within the piece. This convergence of digital and manual techniques results in a hypnotic, immersive exploration of interconnected stories inside the brain, creating a compelling journey through the memories of different cultures and prevailing immersive visual and auditory landscapes.
