COOK, EAT & CLEAN – Ritual of Disobedience 

untitled 

Artist: Parham Rostam Abadi

Format: performance

Duration: 10 min

Short description

A futile act, neither image nor narrative, but the residue of a personal discharge in confrontation with my current condition as an artist in the diaspora. These stains carry neither anger nor pain, nor a grief that could translate into effective action; in exile, they remain only as a performative presence.
