Golriz Behgoo (Iran) and Bethan Hughes (UK) present an installation exploring the unique combinations and conflicts that arise from cultural representation and inevitable amalgamation.

Using the outmoded technologies and formats of Television and slide projections, the installation presents an edited selection of the artists' own collection of pop-cultural material (photographs, videos, texts, music and adverts) regarding the years preceding and following 1979 in both Iran and the UK.

Through a combination of these materials, the work aims to examine the surreal phenomenon of witnessing one's cultural background from a geographically and generationally removed position; an inward and outward view onto what is at once understandable, relatable and known but simultaneously incomprehensible, disassociated and unknown - that which is strangely familiar.

Dieses Projekt nimmt am Bauhaus Essentials 2013 / GRAFE-Kreativpreis teil.
