OBSCURE STREAM OF LIFE, BUT I’M STILL HAVING MY AFTERNOON CUPPA: Bita Fayyazi

For her new show, Fayyazi continues to deal with fundamental ideas and concepts that have underpinned her previous two, critically-acclaimed shows Performance 1388/2010 and Grind, in which society at large is assessed and evaluated through an intensely personal prism of Fayyazi's own emotions and feelings. The chaos and disorder of everyday life, the frailty and futility of thwarted human ambition and greed, set within a framework referencing structures of birth, life and decay, all refracted through Bita Fayyazi's practice, here becomes a powerful set of artworks.
