Palimpsetic Feverdream Ontology



 2024

Photoseries, photographed in Tehran 2019, digitally edited  2023/24 in Europe, 4.752 × 3.168


The process of revisiting and reviewing these photographs which  were connected to another structural context and altering them over  the years adding layers through changing reflections and feelings,  distance growing has shaped the evolution and stitching of these  images.  A translucent overwriting that spins a web of overlapping contexts by addition, retraction, blurring, exchanging and other  transformatory tools. Loosing traces of memory through time filling  the gaps by feverdreamlike traces. A visual palimpsest.

    ,I shall give up lines and give up counting syllables too.

     And I will seek refuge

from the mob
of finite measured forms
in the sensitive planes of expanse.’

,It was as if the strange bed where I’d been spending my nights of late had become a kind of medium, dispatching warning signals to me across unseen wires from the realm of exile and homeless wandering.’
