For Bam
 
January 2004, For Bam, a group show taken place in a warehouse in the center of Tehran about the tragic disaster in Bam, the historic city on south-east of Iran best known for its 2000 year old citadel, which was struck and devastated by a massive earthquake on Friday 26 December 2003 with the death toll estimation of 50000 from a population of formerly 85000. The historic citadel has been largely destroyed and it is said that 80% of the city's buildings has turned into rubble.

My contribution in collaboration with 6 younger artists was:
- a narrative performance symbollic of the incident afflicted the city of Bam using our own shadows behind a screen,
- to sell our works while going round the warehouse acting like street hawkers offering our goods (i.e. artefact made by ourselves),
- an installation of 7 crying angles, "The Fallen Angles", in a dimly lit space by means of an arched shaped purple-blue neon-light installed on top of a wall toward which all the angles were facing.
There were also displays of video & slide projections, installations and perfomances by the other participant artists.
All proceedings went towards disaster reliefs.
