Title: No. 28
Form: Experimental Film
Technique: Under Camera Animation
Material: Charcoal drawing, digital photography, digital editing

This is a film version of the animation installation composed of the fading remains of my childhood memories without overt or linear narrative structure. The hand-drawn animations of fragmentary memories with different temporal, spatial, and narrative qualities suspend the chronological development of events and their immediate interpretation.

The perception of No. 28 is kinaesthetic, which depends on moving the eyes between frames on the film screen. Through the back-and-forth movement between discrete pictures, their concepts blend into each other, revealing the memory of my innocent childhood life in a remote, peaceful environment against the surrounding political affairs of post-revolutionary Iran.
