The photos are from my installation called exile. At the entrance of the show a telephone was placed on a table that rang every 7 minutes. It dialled up randomly another telephone between Iran and somewhere in the world.
The telephones at each end of the line ring the same time and its up to anybody to answer. The monitors in the background showed 3 different situations where people using public phones monitors showed people that couldn't reach over and over again.
The installation included also a projection, 4 minutes video, in a darkroom. The video starts by the sound of dialling in the dark then you’ll see a telephone placed on the floor in a house. Then the camera takes us on a tour in the house visiting the tidy living room and the chaotic sleeping room and then to the dark corner in the house and the telephone stops ringing. The video was shown in loop.
