Title: No. 28
Form: Multichannel animated installation
Technique: Under Camera Animation
Material: Charcoal drawing, digital photography, digital editing

No. 28 is the multichannel animated installation of fragmentary and fading remains of my childhood memory with no narrative structure. The textural and temporal quality of my memory space is embodied through the materiality of charcoal drawings, the temporal rhythm of animation, and the installation space. 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 walking between projections in the gallery space. 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.
