Yousef Abad is dedicated to the exploration of the relationship between memories, space and movement: I asked someone who visited Tehran to hold a camera while I was remotely directing her through my childhood neighborhood. This walk down memory lane allowed me to virtually visit Tehran and overcome the existing geopolitical borders. It also generated a new experience of the public sphere in which I stroll freely around my own ‘forbidden’ city based on my intuition, but at the same time felt restricted and disoriented due to my removed location and the subjectivity of memory. This multichannel project was presented in its entirety at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art as a solo exhibition.
