GARNU DEPOT: Intervening Collision, 2023
Video animation
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.
