An installation from Golriz Behgoo (Iran) and Bethan Hughes (UK), Strangely Familiar explores the unique combinations and conflicts that arise from cultural representation and inevitable amalgamation. | |||
Using the outmoded technologies and formats of Television and slide projections, the installation presents an edited selection of the artists› own collection of pop-cultural material (photographs, videos, texts, music and adverts) regarding the years preceding and following 1979 in both Iran and the UK. | |||
Through a combination of these materials, the work aims to examine the surreal phenomenon of witnessing one›s cultural background from a geographically and generationally removed position; an inward and outward view onto what is at once understandable, relatable and known but simultaneously incomprehensible, disassociated and unknown - that which is strangely familiar. | |||
