Bone

Arya Tabandehpoor

I wanted to hang a big picture printed on a vinyl banner in an urban space. I thought that wind would quickly tear it apart. Riding in a car, I heard “Dead Editors” by Massive Attack. When the singer sang “Tapestry, I see tapestry”,
It occurred to me to cut the picture into ribbons and weave them so that wind could pass through its warp and woof.
While I was weaving, I thought how this could help my series. I final decided to use it for another project. In this series, I photographed my subjects, and, with the help of an animator, I made the future of the photos as I imagined them. Then I weaved the two images in the same way.
