By Shima-

‘The daily life and performance art are the main source of my research and art pieces. In my work I deconstruct ordinary quotidian practice to analyse patterns and traditional schemes of doing things. The performance art platform (time x space x action x context) is a powerful tool for me to think the process and the final result, which can be installations, objects, video, photography and also performance pieces. I like to create unusual ways to see the common things, combining different disciplines and playing with it’s similarities, differences, contrasts and harmony, to purpose new lenses to see/feel/think the current time’.
