Entwined
Performative Installation by Kimiya Rastgou Moghadam

Entwined is a mesmerizing recorded performance that delves into the complexities of relationships. Watch as partners journey together, symbolized by delicate candle wax drips, each drop representing shared moments and memories. As the wax accumulates, so does the weight of commitment, binding them in love’s embrace. In this experimental video, I have captured the raw emotions of love’s beauty and pain. ‚Entwined‘ is a visual exploration of human connection, prompting viewers to ponder the depths of their own relationships.

Poignant
Durational Performance by Kimiya Rastgou Moghadam

Poignant is a live performance where emotions engulf you entirely. When poignant feelings arise, they demand your attention, blocking out the outside world and urging you to be still and listen. They fill your vision and envelop your senses.
Surrounded by a gentle, soothing sound akin to a quiet stream, you find comfort in its embrace. As the sound becomes clearer, it prompts deep reflection, like a calming melody with each emotion playing its part. Relax, allow yourself to feel, and embrace this serene moment.
