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.

THE MIND IS WEARING A MASK

The performance draws inspiration from my mother's Iranian heritage, her upbringing, and life in Iran until the 1979 revolution. It serves as a means for me to engage with this past, which often feels inaccessible.
