Statement: In this collection I manipulated the digital codes of the famous art history images in order to distort the readings of the system, and then I began to reproduce these images which in my opinion I called them a reproduction of “incorrect readings”. This action is near to the contemporary art approaches of my society. When we read something in another culture with our own life experiences and understanding of our own culture, first we involve such a mental glitch. In the next step, by representing all of the transformation, we obsessively create meaningless and non-identity images.
In some parts of codes manipulating I have written some meaningful phrases in Farsi which I put some screenshots of them. Such as, Iranian pop art, Iranian contemporary art, fine arts, Tehran`s art sale, Post modernism in Iran, call for visual arts, insurance of Iranian artists and etc.
