THRESHOLD

2019-2023
  
Haus der Statistik, Institut für Alles Mögliche, Cultural Center of Belgrade, Resistance in Iran has taken unique forms. The boundaries of everyday are constantly pushed and the lines that divide the private and public are no longer defined by the physical space but by the psychological. What this work endeavours to unveil is the existence and the effects of everyday forms of resistance in Iran. The inspiration and the main medium of this work are the stories Amini has documented during her field research in Tehran; the micro forms of resistance that lie hidden in plain sight. Entangled in an obsession with storytelling, this work inserts itself in the in-between, ignored, residual spaces; the thresholds, framing the passageways, exploring and challenging the notions of here and there, of an vare ab [the other side of water].
