“There is nothing more mysterious than a TV set left on in an empty room. It is even stranger than a man talking to himself or a woman standing dreaming. It is as if another planet is communicating with you.” Baudrillard
The solo show “Doubt” by Iranian artist Atousa Bandeh leaves one high and dry where in one might find oneself buried under news bombardments of unrest, fire and fury. A major deviance from these daily barrages, the entire installation of Atousa Bandeh takes the viewer in the opposite direction.
Surrounded by multi-size and multimedia artworks, instead of the de-sensitization proper of the age of horizontalist social media numbing, her works make a new sensation, embedding the daily with the timeless, the mythical with the political, and the far with the objects close by.
