من نیستم.....من هستم.
من نیستم،مجموعه ی کلاژ مانند ی است از تعابیر گوناگون داستان های تصویری ایرانی با اجرایی ناهمگون.من نیستم،طبیعت غریزی را بازیچه داستان های ذهنی خویش می سازد و با قضاوت و مقایسه اشکال گوناگون اجسام میل، روایت خویش را از یک ماجرا نقل می کند تا تصویری فانتزی اما نه رویایی پدید آورد تصویری برداشته شده از آنچه در ذهن باقی مانده است و از آنچه به شکلی نا خودآگاه از سر می گذرانیم. شاید حسرت ها،دردها، نا کامی ها و یا هوس هایمان سپس آن را با تصویر دنیای بیرون تطبیق می دهیم.از هر گوشه و کنار چیزی پیدا می کنیم.گوشه هایی را می آراییم و گوشه هایی را همانطور محو و نا مشخص رها می کنیم.گویی ذهن بی معطلی ما را درون مرداب خویش فرو می کشد. و از بلعیدن ما هنوز جا دارد.نیستی ژرف است. اما ما چاره ای نداریم جز خیره شدن به نیستی تا از پس چنان رویارویی آن چه را که هستیم بیازماییم.

خاطره ی جمعی
نقل قول ها به ظاهر حامل شرح و تصویری از رخدادهای پیش تر واقع شده هستند. در حالی که در اصل از توصیف دقیق آنچه در فضا، زمان و مکان جاری بوده عاجزند. اگر صادق باشند آن را ناقص و اگر صادق نباشند آمیخته به تخیل بیان می کنند. وقتی این نقل قول ها در مقیاس وسیع تاریخی اجتماعی ظاهر می شوند، به پاره ی قابل توجه ای از تاریخ، به حافظه ی جمعی بدل می گردند. تصاویر تاریخی ظاهرا بخش قابل مشاهده و مجسم وقایع و تصویر مشترکی هستند؛ تصویری که در اذهان عموم از رخدادهای تاریخی ضبط می شود. تصاویر، خاطرات جمعی اند، حال آنکه تنها لحظه ای قطعی از یک رخداد را بدون پیش و پس آن نقل می کنند. تصاویر، وانموده هایی قراردادی از رخدادها هستند و در بازگویی تمام و کمال آنچه در واقعیت اتفاق افتاده ناتوانند. این ناتوانی مجال تغییر و تحریف را برای راوی مهیا می سازد. تصاویر با ذهنیات، عواطف و باورهای فردی می آمیزند و وقایع از بستر خود جدا شده و هریک به داستان جدیدی تبدیل می شوند. بدین ترتیب حافظه ی جمعی دچار اختلال می شود. ما در میان این تصاویر و خاطرات به دنبال واقعیتی می گردیم که دست نیافتنی است. خاطرات جمعی بر پایه ی تصاویرو نقل قول هایی نامطمئن و ناتمام شکل می گیرند.

“I am not.... I am”
“I am not” is a collection, resembles a collage of different interpretations of pictorial stories which are presented dissimilarly.
Deceiving the Instinctual Nature, “I am not” cooks up his own subjective stories. Judging and comparing different shapes, “I am not” is going to narrate his story of an adventure and make a fiction rather than a dream. This pictorial story is drawn out of what is rested in mind and what is crossed the mind subconsciously. Perhaps these subconscious pictures are made of our sighs, pains, failures and lusts, and then adjusted with an image of outside world.
The subject is detected out of every corner, decorated in some parts and left faded in others, as if the mind instantly swallows us into a swamp and there are still free spaces after swallowing all of us. Nonexistence is deep. There is no alternative except staring in our nonexistence, after facing this experience I challenge “what I am”.

Collective memory
Quotations appear to visualize and describe events that have been happened in the past. Nevertheless, they are incapable of explaining what has been flown within the space, time, and place. If quotations were honest, they would deliver the “real” incompletely, if not that would mix with imaginations. When quotations appear in the vast social-historical scale, they convert to an important part of the history, to the collective memory. Historical images seem to be the visual appearance of historical events, common images of what have been recorded of those events in public minds. Pictures are collective memories. However, they narrate particular moments despite what has happened before and after. Pictures are determined simulations of facts and are not able to recall what has happened in the real completely and perfectly. Thus, such disability would provide narrators the chance of distorting and even converting reality. Pictures would mix with imaginations, sentiments, and individual beliefs and later they would separate from their contexts and convert to brand new stories. Hence, the collective memory would be interrupted. We look for unreachable truth among such pictures and memories. The collective memory would be built up on unreliable images and incomplete quotes.

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
