MORVARID K

Visual artist and performer, Morvarid K was born in Tehran in 1982 and although she left Iran relatively early, her attachment to the Iranian identity is the foundation of her relationship to the world and of her artistic sensitivity.

Through the manipulation of photographic material, her work questions our relation to the world, the transformative memory, and the in-between. The photographic medium is the starting point, it anchors her work in reality, while the superposition and transformation techniques bring the additional expressions photography couldn’t capture. The print becomes a material, a stage in the creative process, before any gesture or performative experience complete the work. The definition Laurent Derobert, existential mathematician, gives to the word "lack" sits at the heart of her artistic practice: infinite presence of absence.

Morvarid lives and works in Bordeaux, France and Berlin, Germany.
