Artist Talk Tina Farifteh
In conversation with Astrid Hulsmann
Artist Talk Tina Farifteh
Iranian-Dutch artist Tina Farifteh created new work especially for Journeys.
When I Saw the Sun and the Moon at the Same Time is a 24-hour journey along the Seedyk (sea dyke) in Friesland in 24 minutes, on view at Backer + Rueb Hall.
This installation with video and light art is the first part of Tina in Sexbierum – a transmedia project about displacement, detachment and the simultaneous desire for a home and inability to feel at home in a society that continuously rejects you.
In When I Saw the Sun and the Moon at the Same Time, Farifteh asks herself and the visitor the question: ‘If society does not provide a home, is there a place in the landscape for the displaced?’
