Revolution Begins at Home, by Hamed Khosravi and Roozbeh Elias-Azar, with Nazgol Ansarinia, opens at the Sharjah Architecture Triennial, UAE. The project is a three-part installation that reflects on spatial imaginaries of domestic spaces in the city of Tehran. They reinterpret the codes and protocols of a typical apartment block through the fragmentation of its constituent parts and its reassembly – a process that looks to enable a continuous revolution that begins at home.

Prototype Units (2019) (image). Hamed Khosravi and Roozbeh Elias-Azar, (Mixed Materials: Timber, Acrylic, 3D Printed Polyamide, and Resin; 466 x 197 x 55 cm + base). A 1:18 scale dollhouse of a typical apartment block in Tehran. An urban cross section of two 5-story buildings with its spatial organization rearranged based on the everyday practices of the dwellers. The piece provides a setting for alternative imaginary domestic practices.

Domestic Resonance (2019) Hamed Khosravi and Roozbeh Elias-Azar, (Mixed Materials: Plated Steel, Fabric Panel; Sound Installation with 6 built-in speakers; Dimensions: 300 x 240 x 280 cm). A PeepBox transformed into an audio piece. Six 90-seconds audio clips of particular spatial practices selected from epic Iranian movies arranged around an everted small room. The installation aims to inform the relationship between the built environment and place imaginaries through removal of visuals.

Living Room (2005), Nazgol Ansarinia, (Video projection; colour; Duration: 6 min) ) is 1:1 projection of a seemingly blank wall within a domestic environment. The video reveals marks, cracks, and traces left on the wall by furniture and pictures that have been removed from the room. The work was born out of an experience that the artist had when she returned to Tehran in 2004 after few years of studying abroad. She noticed the walls of her childhood home after her family had moved out. In the Living Room the marks on the wall are no longer just marks but have become inseparable parts of the walls and carry the memory of a space once occupied and lived in.
