Stamped with an imprint and burnt patches, Hadi Rahnaward's matchstick rug on the Palais de Tokyo is unraveling on the edges. Entitled “Fragile Steadiness”, the meticulously positioned set up is a part of the exhibition sprains organized in partnership with Portes ouvertes sur l'artwork, a non-profit group that helps artists in exile.
Rahnaward works in movie, pictures and set up and is within the cycles of violence in his native Afghanistan, significantly in relation to Taliban rule. Weaving and making pyres have lengthy traditions with the nomadic tribes of the area, and the follow continues right now each within the nation and with refugees who fled through the Soviet-Afghan warfare. In “Fragile Steadiness”, numerous matches crowd collectively, and the mixture of unpolluted, crimson ends and charred suggestions creates an ornate sample. The remnants of violence appear to be eroding such a strong image of worth and tradition, fragmenting and piling up like rubble.
sprains is offered till June 30, and you may observe Rahnaward on Instagram.
