Tina Farifteh
When I Saw the Sun and the Moon at the Same Time
Iranian-Dutch artist Tina Farifteh (1982) is creating 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.
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?’ Come see for yourself what the answer to that question might be.
The installation was developed specially for BredaPhoto and is realized in co-production with Prospektor. Thanks to Mondriaan Fonds, Forhanna, Stichting Oog op de Natuur and Amarte Fonds.
Location: Backer + Rueb Hall
