Circle

Digital Photography

Indonesia

2009

Circle symbolises the structure, boundary, continuity and repetitive nature of tradition, religion, culture and politics. It is the basis of many facets of society in contemporary Iran, including the rituals in a woman’s everyday life. In my three-channel video, I draw from my life experiences to employ different cultural imageries and symbols within a Southeast Asian context. The collective structures and boundaries embodied through the Circle are negotiated by bringing myth and fact together.
