Being a Woman
In this project, I aim to explore the status of women in Iran from the Qajar era to the post-Mahsa movement (Women, Life, Freedom). This art installation includes multiple projectors at different angles, mirrors, and transparent plastics that display images of women. The projectors cast historical photographs onto the plastics, creating overlapping and fragmented visuals.
The installation also plays with light and shadow through variable lighting to convey various emotions, ranging from calmness to anxiety. Additionally, sound elements are incorporated to enrich the experience, immersing the audience further into the installation. As viewers move through this space, they become part of the artwork, engaging with themes of identity and gender. This interaction allows them to feel the weight of the challenges and limitations faced by women in Iranian society.
Sections of the plastics are cut to create a sense of incompleteness in the audience’s perception. These cuts symbolize that the audience cannot fully grasp all the realities of women’s lives, inviting them to reflect on social limitations and challenges.
This art installation will be displayed in an enclosed space, and my goal is to encourage the audience to reconsider the historical and social experiences of women. This work not only addresses the personal and historical experiences of women but also fosters a deeper understanding of issues such as identity, gender, and social constraints, inviting them to actively participate in this reflective process.
