Adonia Bouchehri is an artist working across sculpture, installation,performance and video. Selected for the 2020/2021 Flamin Fellowship, her work investigates how the images we live and grow up with affect our bodies. She perceives images as agents that can inhabit the body and structure our feelings and perceptions. Utilizing a combination of CGI, live action footage, sculpture, and writing, Adonia creates spaces that bring together elements from lived experiences as well as those that spring from an imaginary place. She is particularly interested in thinking about the moving image as an in-between space, a fragmentary realm that can traverse places and create and open up new ways of inhabiting spaces.

15 IRANIAN YEARS
PERFORMANCE 234—34/2



PERFORMANCE
Presented at the ICA in 2024, 15 Iranian Years explores Adonia Bouchehri's mother’s Iranian history, from her birth in 1963 to her departure in 1979. The performance features readings and sculptures, incorporating objects like ants, a goldfish glass, sunflower seeds, and sabzeh—sprouted greens symbolic of the Iranian New Year. These elements materialize memories passed down by Bouchehri’s mother, reflecting her childhood in Iran. Through these objects and storytelling, the piece examines the intersection of physical and imagined spaces, reshaping our understanding of reality as influenced by personal memory and historical events.
