There is a subtle interaction between my ordinary everyday affairs and my artistic practice. Instagram posts sometimes reveal this connection!

Three of my recent photographic-performances are currently on display at the MUU Helsinki Contemporary Art Center. This collective exhibition is part of MUU’s "A Month of Performances” programme and is open until the 21st of March.

These three pieces are part of a developing collection titled as " White Liquid of Futility". These works were produced during my stay in Muenster, Germany in Jan-Feb 2021 and with the generous help of Iman Kamehkhosh and Maryam Rezaei.

¬ 2011
This image is one of my first and a few attempts to create a visual identity for my design studio back in 2011. At that point, I was recently graduated and was thinking of developing rather a “bold” and “radical” product design business in Tehran. The slogan I had chosen was "Digging for Unexpectedness" which was meant to imply my eager for discovering the everyday aesthetic norms and the available possibilities of challenging them in the context of product design. Soon though, things changed unexpectedly in my life and so did my approach towards my design practice as a business.

بدون عنوان/از مجموعه "وحشی که می شوی"/١٣٩۴/ این کار اولین بار در گالری طراحان آزاد ارائه شد و امسال هم به همت دوست عزیزم فرهاد بیات زاده ترمیم شد و در بینال هشتم مجسمه سازی تهران دوباره به نمایش در اومد. اگر کسی از من بپرسه در مورد این کار چیزی بگم، می گم لطفا فقط چند دقیقه در سکوت و بدون هیچ فکری روبروش بشینید و با دقت بهش نگاه کنید. بدون انتظار کشف چیزی فراتر از آنچه می بینید. بعد هم بلند شید برید و همه چیزو فراموش کنید.

Untitled/ "Gone Wild" Series /2014/ This piece was presented for the first time in Azad Gallery, Tehran, in 2014, and this year after being restored by my dear friend Farhad Bayatzadeh, was shown again in the 8th Tehran Sculpture Biennale. If someone asks me about this piece , I would say, just sit in front of it in silence and take a close look for a few minutes without waiting to discover anything beyond what you are looking at.

Under the umbrella of the Congratulations project stand two ideas, one of which is called One Hour Contemplation, commenced on the 20th of May 2018, and the other one, known as Today Might Be The Last Day, started a few months later, in October of the same year. Both ideas are a series of practices/performances that I have decided to carry on until the last day of my life on earth.

One Hour Contemplation: To go through the stages of self-improvement, maintaining awareness and eliminating neglect are two of the most necessary factors. During one hour of contemplation, I try to focus on these aims by pondering upon the origin and resurrection. This helps me to remember the big picture and re-coordinate my position concerning the truth I have understood about life.
During these single hour sessions of personal evaluation and analysis, I make new decisions or renew my old promises to quit the deeds that I find contradictory to my original purpose of being in the world. I think of abandoning wrong deeds of the past and purifying my intentions according to the right path. I express appreciation with humility and rapture for the blessings I am given, for being saved through the most difficult situations, and being liberated from grief and pain many times in my life. I chew on these thoughts and plan my life while I see myself in the presence of my closest friend: death.

I was shocked once I counted my father’s lifetime by days. He lived for 25593 days before he passed away. This unconventional means of referring to age could alter the concept of a lifetime for me. Since I have a more precise understanding of how long a day is, I could get a more tangible conception of 25593 days as my father’s lifetime. This click triggered an idea that is now known as Today Might Be The Last Day.

Today Might Be The Last Day, is a life-long project about celebrating life through

death-awareness and learning about the quiddity of this event. The plan is to post a video on an Instagram handle every single day and until the last day of my life on earth. In each video, I announce the date of the day, the number of days I have lived by that day, and the fact that “today might be that last day.” I recorded the first video on October 3, 2018, and now, by the day I am writing this text, 800 videos have been uploaded and archived on this platform. This project can be considered accomplished when, finally, what I say in the video, comes true.
