About the artists:
Shaahin Peymani is a composer and sound artist based in Tehran and Berlin. After graduating in textile engineering, he studied at the Tehran conservatory, and is currently continuing his MA in sound studies and sonic arts at the Berlin University of the Arts. Shaahin often uses found sounds, field recordings, and archival sounds in his works. By recomposing concrete sounds and processed speech voices into collages, he explores the realm of human perception and the deconstruction of language in audio culture, and seeks to redefine modes of listening by transforming sound as an indication of its source into an abstract structural sound object.
Maryam Katan is a Tehran-based artist working with animation, film and audio-visual installations. She received her MFA in animation directing from Tarbiat Modares University in Tehran. In her practice, she is engaged with displacement and repositioning meanings in non-original discourses, searching for alternative cognitive models. Recently, Katan is seeking animation as an approach, motion intervention and reanimating as an act of resistance.
