Geometamorphosis of Exile & the Moon Chronicle

Gita Hashemi

1997, English

TAPECODE 237.00

Geometamorphosis of Exile & the Moon Chronicle - although informed and inspired by the stories of the generation of Iranians to which the artist belongs - dissects, and simultaneously attempts to reconstruct the experience of exile as a universal social phenomenon in its full range of manifestations, from banishment to ostracism. Seamlessly weaving images, sound and texts, the artist juxtaposes the decidedly subjective and the ostensibly objective to move the user through a series of circular journeys that intersect, coincide or overlap, much like the circles that generate the pseudo-Islamic motifs that mark the beginning and the ending of each journey.
