Bruno David presents Chaos, a video work by Iranian-born, Atlanta-based multi-disciplinary artist Sara Ghazi Asadollahi. This is artist’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery.

 

This video work “Chaos” is a visual interpretation of the timeless and deeply emotional poem by the Iranian poet, Furūgh Farrukhzād: “To my abode, if thou should come, bring a light, O gentle one, and a casement, from which I might view the bustle of the street below." It is a tribute to Farrukhzād's artistry and a meditation on the universal human experiences of love, loss, and the passage of time.

 

Sara Ghazi Asadollahi’s studio practice delves into the intricate relationship between the past and future as they intersect in ruins. With a rich background in both Visual Art and Film Studies, Sara masterfully blends a range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, and video, to challenge conventional forms and push the boundaries of creative expression.

 

Sara Ghazi Asadollahi holds a B.A. and M.A. in Iran and an M.F.A. degree from the Sam Fox School of Visual Arts & Design, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate (Film and Media Studies) at the Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia. Sara's artworks have been included in exhibitions across Europe, Iran, and the United States.
