Video installation, three screens, in loop, color, stereo sound, (0.11.01)

“The Circle” offers a reflection on the perception of the world and life, as well as our existential journey on the path of exile. The video portrays an endless tunnel, juxtaposed with the image of my performance where I spin around myself, reminiscent of the Sufi dance that reflects my Iranian origin. The installation consists of three large-scale videos projected in a dark space, immersing the viewer in an atmosphere of anxiety and suffocation, submerging them in a perpetually moving world around them.

As I entered this tunnel, I was captivated by its seemingly never-ending length. This made me reflect on life, on the path that we are forced to traverse without truly knowing the destination, much like my experience as an exiled Iranian woman, which makes me particularly sensitive to the geopolitical exile situation of individuals fleeing life-threatening circumstances.
