Tar

Fariba Farzanfar, Kaveh Sistani (Amirreza Kavianmehr)
2026, Iran, 5’

An experimental under-the-camera animation crafted with real strands of hair. In Persian, the word tar carries a dual meaning: both a strand of hair and a traditional Iranian string instrument. Within this symbolic interplay, a centipede crawls into an artist's ear and enters the landscape of her mind.

Eksperimentalna animacija v tehniki “pod kamero”, ustvarjena s pravimi prameni las. V perzijščini ima beseda tar dvojen pomen: označuje pramen las in tradicionalno iransko strunsko glasbilo. V tej simbolni igri stonoga zleze v umetničino uho in vstopi v pokrajino njenega uma.
