Articulations of the Self 8 2015

"Articulations of the Self 8" is a 2015 installation by Iranian-born, American artist Amir Baradaran, who was born in 1977. This work features a building illuminated in red light, and a large billboard displaying a grid of small images, which are accompanied by an artist statement. Baradaran's work often engages with themes of identity, migration, and the complexities of modern life, and this piece likely explores these themes through the visual contrast of the illuminated building and the images on the billboard. The red glow and the grid of images create a sense of both anonymity and alienation, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of selfhood in the contemporary world.
