ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The life of shadows “When we stand, they fall When we sit, they crumble When we walk, they shiver And when we sleep, they whirl… Face the wall, your back to the window, look through the window while waiting for the sun to shine again, waiting for us to appear again... then we can mingle with the Zebra stripes on the pedestrian crossing, and melt in the gray asphalt of the road, lest a car drives over them. But we never wait. We crawl in between the cars, and dance on the zebra crossing. By the time we make it to the other side of the road, they are finished. They change names and colors, and melt in the dark night. But we are still alive. Far from the gray human world, we turn the wheel of life; we live and grow in our pitch black world.” In this body of work, unlike the multi-dimentional humans, my shadows are single-dimensional. The shadows simply show what they are. By flipping and rotating the images, our real lives are replaced with those of the shadows; but despite the distorted reality, the shadows are distinguishable. They are now the real images. زندگیِ سایه ها: وقتی می ایستیم سقوط می کنند و وقتی می نشینیم نگون اند، وقتی راه می رویم به خود می لرزند و وقتی خوابیم به خود می پیچند، رخ به دیوار، پشت به پنجره، پشت به دیوار، رخ به پنجره تا دوباره خورشید بیاید تا ما بیاییم و صبح دوباره در راه راه خط عابر پیاده گره بخورند و در خاکستری آسفالت فرو روند تا مبادا ماشینی از رویشان عبور کند. ما اما هیچ گاه منتظر نمی ایستیم. روی ماشین ها می خزیم و با خطوط عابر پیاده می رقصیم. وقتی به آن سوی خیابان رسیده باشند دیگر تمام شده اند با هزار رنگ و نام در سیاهی شب هاشور خورده اند. ما اما همچنان بودیم و هستیم و خواهیم بود. دسته چرخ زندگی در دستمان می تابد و جدا از دنیای خاکستریِ آدم ها در دنیای مشکیِ مشکیِ مشکیِ خودمان(سایه ها) زندگی می کنیم و قد می کشیم.

Dariush Nehdaran born in Isfahan/Iran in 1984 is a contemporary visual artist who fearlessly defies the rules in order to bring multiple and complex meanings to his work. Through rhythmic juxtaposed images containing a variety of perspectives, he constructs a world between dream and reality and plays with clarity and depth to suggest an alternative way of seeing things. Throughout his childhood, Dariush suffered from poor eyesight, but chose not to wear glasses to avoid the stigma of getting bullied. During that time, he experienced and viewed the world in a blurry and ambiguous way. When he became a teenager, the use of his grandfather's camera enabled him to see the world clearly for the first time in his life. The fact that he saw the world blurry though his own eyes and clear through the lens of the camera and the printed images has driven him to explore the subject of amphibology as the main topic in his work. By doing so, he has created a unique style that demands his viewers’ attention and focus as part of the resolution in his work. Nehdaran currently lives in San Francisco but has expanded his art internationally. His photographs and video works are available both in public and private collections worldwide including the Armando Reverón Contemporary Art Museum in Caracas-Venezuela 2018, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the US 2016, and the Salsali Private Museum in Dubai-UAE 2012. Dariush is the recipient of multiple awards including the Nikon International Photo Contest in Japan 2015, the Hamghadam Photo Festival in France 2010, and the 7th Image of the Year Festival in Tehran 2010.
