Première monographie de l'artiste iranienne Farkhondeh Shahroudi, présentant une large sélection des ses œuvres de 1990 to 2022, des sculptures textiles constituées de dessins et de collages tridimensionnels cousus, dans lesquelles la poésie et la langue tiennent une part essentielle.
The publication contains a selection of Shahroudi's works from 1990 to 2022. The focus of the selection is on the works in which poetry and language interact. Her artworks are scripted with drawings and stitched three-dimensional collages, which are transformed into textile, collage-like morphs floating in space. They don't appear chronologically, but rather in dialogue with the works themselves and following the writings, scoping out various aspects of her oeuvre.
For the last thirty years, Farkhondeh Shahroudi has been working with different artistic forms—poetry / automatic writing / onomatopoeia, drawings, installations, soft sculpture, performance, and photography. During these years, she has gradually separated herself from the two-dimensional canvas and delved into the spatial exploration of heterotopias, only to recently return to large-scale drawings that evoke her fantastical world of imagination, composed of small black felt pen strokes. In all these forms, language and writing are present on all levels up to the performative.
We are no more then the pen in a writer's hand, where we go, we do not know, quote by the Sufi Poet Rumi, serves as the title of this monograph. With this title the unconscious flow of artistic expression in both text and texture of Shahroudi's work is accentuated. In this book, six authors have been invited to publish a text on her work. All of them have been closely involved with Shahroudi's work over different periods of her practice.
Farkhondeh Shahroudi (née en 1962 à Téhéran) est une artiste iranienne basée à Berlin. Le travail de Shahroudi, duquel les dessins, les poèmes et le langage constituent une partie essentielle, est aussi poétique que politique. La ligne à partir de laquelle elle forme des signes et des mots – quelle que soit leur langue respective – devient le fil conducteur de ses sculptures cousues à partir de fragments de tissus. Des collages tridimensionnels, des œuvres dans l'espace public et des performances complètent l'œuvre graphique et poétique de Shahroudi.
