Salt Lake

Salt Lake

24th Environmental Art Festival was held in Tabriz and Oromieh cities in September 2010 so that artists could display their newest works along Salt Lake. Two first days of the festival were for work in the shore of Oromieh Lake and the last day for the meeting of participant artists and local artists of Oromieh and Tabriz in the city of Tabriz. An extensive area of the lake has been dried, that’s why you need to walk some kilometers on a dry bed cracked like desert to reach water.

Work 3549

Work 3549 is one of our symbolic group presentation done in Oromieh Lake. Destruction of environment and inattention to this issue like any other disorder dominant every part of the country had caused Oromieh big lake, perhaps the most important natural attraction of Oromieh, to dry. It could be understood from dullness of homes and other places of “Chi Chest”. 3549 was a symbol of this drought. We took 3549 steps from residence to water; a social movement not only related to the drought of a piece of land also to its cultural and social consequences of it. These steps show our distance from nature, a distance from drought to the still-alive lake

Several days in Mashalak

One of the important features of our group is trips to the various cities of Iran and also trend to the nature and this affair is clearly observable in all the members of our group.
The nature and different trips include lots of effects on our aim or individual work and ingeneral our group works have been created as a selection in various places.
Our trip to Noshahr and Mashalak jungle was done for the second time after Noshahr 16th festival and it was one of the most useful trips to Noshahr , because we went there during two regular weeks and did lots of things in the beautiful places.
Our first mission in the first week "Green Carpet" that was done in a very pleasant weather and I can honestly say it had a special atmosphere.

"Green Carpet"

But the second trip to Noshahr started by individual works that you can observe some pictures about it and all of us were performing new works or something related to the previous works.The second day was appropriated to do some things related to "Green Carpet" and we could make a new carpet by dried wood in the jungle.

"A Carpet of broken Branches"

"My freedom is inside me" is the title of a collection which is being done while this project was done at this jungle by barbed wire last year for the first time.

"Another Roof" was worked by Tara goodarzi and Atefeh Khas with less lines and with a geometric shap. These project has different performance in different places but the feeling of it in that green environment made a kind of suspense and opposition of red color with surround environment made this feeling more.

Tara's works were like her other works in these recently festivals and they have more respect of performing in the nature and on the other hand , we can say that she is seeking her relation with nature and element of it , like lots of other artist.

We were throwing stones in the water calmly that maybe the sound of our shout in heard in these killing silence.
This project was our group work in the last polor festival . It's done with helping of Hessam Mohamadian , Mehdi Motevali , and Behzad Nadalian.
The sound of silence was a group project in continue of another project that we had it for politician prisons (Not just Iranian politician prisons). Although this work was so different from the point of view of performance.The sound of these stones broke the special silence to us. We couldn't stay calm in these space
