The series is focused on how the rise of an ideology, in this case the Islamic revolution of Iran 1978, can transform the visual elements of cultural products and suggest aesthetics. I have collected more than 200 hundred issues of the Iranian magazine Zan-e Rooz, published between from 1975 to 1981.
The content of the magazine would offer a tangible handhold for viewers interested in understanding the political and culturaltransformation of Iran, and the visual correspondents therein. I have started painting the covers of the Iranian magazines and advertisements, specifically those from the few years before and after of the 1978 Islamic revolution of Iran trying to underestand and represente this sudden daramatic change through the slow pace of an old medium like painting.
