Becoming a Worm, 2023
Polyglot Migration is fueled by a sense of refuge at home, but coping with displacement and establishing a sense of belonging in your host society are two battles to win. As an immigrant woman, I create artworks to express my spatial displacement and diaspora. I articulate my body/self in performance art that intersects with the technology of camera. I regard video technology as a vehicle to enact myself with particularity within a contemporary social and political context. I use the corporeal grotesque as a bodily metaphor for the anatomical female body, and I see this grotesque body as a positive and powerful figuration of cultural feminism and womanhood that points to a state of being between hope and anxiety. Polyglot, represents my body fragmented and dispersed across the multiple channels of videos.1 I aim to impact the very structure of thought and relies on an intensive de-familiarization of our habits of thought. To represent my experience of crossing different physical and metaphorical borders, I use Persian (Farsi) idioms and proverb as a style to subvert the normativity of language. This creates the condition of simultaneous belonging and not-belonging The Video Text: I assured her we would prevail, even if it means growing plants out of our eyeballs. She remarked, "After 44 years of waiting, the grass is growing beneath my feet." After continuously telling them that we must leave, she now has "hair on her tongue." They consistently blame us and say, "Well, that's on us." "The worm is from the tree." (My experiments included opening my eye without blinking for 5 minutes, opening my mouth with my tongue out for 10 minutes, letting worms move on my belly for 30 minutes, and putting needles into my foot skin for 10 minutes. All performances were edited in a 10-minute video.)
