Page is under construction - Ready October 2026
Farvash (b. Tehran, Iran) approaches each project from the perspective of the magician: a synthetic figure bringing together science, alchemy, and spirituality. She begins with deep material exploration, looking for cracks in the scholarship, moments where technical potentials intertwine with poetic vectors. As a first generation immigrant, Farvash is highly attuned to contradictory experiences of transition, boundaries, social systems, and hierarchies. She catalyzes materials, helping them expand their embedded knowledge of transformation, in order to bridge the gaps between different emotional states, time periods, ancestors, and political realities. Farvash’s projects culminate in performative environments, with or without live human action. These micro realities are actively shaped by the research material, holding together divergent histories to entrance visitors in new emotional webs.
