| dc.description.abstract | Naftoon is a multimedia art project in which I integrate video, audio, photo, and animation to explore the essential role of oil in Iranian society. Using the natural substance of oil as a medium and a metaphor, I consider concepts of personal and national identity. My intention is to emphasize the role of oil on a social, more than political or economic, level, but the latter issues necessarily seep through. With a focus on nature and time, as well as processes of reflection, repetition, and absorption, I aim for this site-specific installation to simultaneously mesmerize and elicit thoughtful engagement. | |
