This multi-channel video installation consists of thirteen videos that document natural and historical sites in Iran, all of which are vulnerable to degradation. Since 2007, at least forty recorded national sites have been destroyed.
The work explores the complementary relationship between time and place—how they integrate to generate the concept of “home.” It examines the relativity of place-identity, defined through the notion of “home,” and how it transforms through geographical displacement.
