I live in Iran, so of course I see [it] here, but to me the whole world is in a phase of PMS.” - @newshatavakolian⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ In her new film For The Sake of Calmness, exploring the topic of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) Newsha Tavakolian wanted to establish a relationship between landscape, history, imagination and reality.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ The result is a work with broad interpretations, which the photographer acknowledges: “Some viewers might relate to the sense of confinement, for me the work started with this dark and gloomy shadow that is cast over me each month, but it ends with my feeling that we are all suffering from this, in these times.”⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ The screening of the film took place in a tunnel-like portion of Argo Factory’s concrete basement, with the viewer between a mirror and a large screen, and with high volume in an otherwise near-sound insulated void. The effect was intense: “Like the viewer is inside the film”, says Tavakolian.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ For the Sake of Calmess is on show at Argo Factory until October 14. The work will also be exhibited at New York’s Thomas Erben gallery in January, 2021. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Read more about the film at the link in bio.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ PHOTO: (1) Still from 'For The Sake of Calmness', (2) Installation.
