TAN

TAN is a project containing a 70 minutes documentary film and a series of painting and drawings.  The solo exhibition TAN presented by Aline Vidal Gallery , took place from October 10th to October 22th 2017 in Paris.  A private screening of the documentary was organized, in parallel with the exhibition, at Cinéma du Panthéon on October 15th. TAN is born from my encounter with  Ismaïl, Alireza  and  Hadi.  The project illustrates portraits of two groups of men; mutilated solders of the Iran/Irak war and the Iranian bodybuilders in a small city from south of Iran. These three protagonists are related by the desire of immortalizing their own body. Nevertheless,  what separates them is the generational gap and how the relationship with the body changes in a society from an ideological and religious point of view to a complete materialistic approach.

The Dispossessed is the title for a series of multidisciplinary works presented at my solo show, curated by Françoise Docquiert, at the Malakoff Contemporary Art Center from September 23rd to December 10th, 2023.

Le Guin explores current concerns such as the testing of social bonds, gender binarism, feminism, humanity in the realm of the living, ecological threats, colonization, expansion, or the disappearance of human species. With the same inquiries and a sense of dispossession, Elika Hedayat has constructed this ...

This solo show presented at Hamzianpour & Kia Gallery , from April 23 to May 23 2022 in Los Angeles, features a series of paintings and an  animation piece .  Here is an extract from the press release :  " The small, personable, dense paintings of Hedayat are windows into another world. Bewildered protagonists make up a dreamscape with recurring motifs of biological systems, rhizomatic growths, and interconnected pathways. The paintings’ internally glowing sense of light feel like projections themselves, mental images of a world past or to come, or conjured in response to the current conditions of life on Earth. The implied narrative of Hedayat’s paintings key into her video work almost as frame stills, cinematic instances which hold time expansively in their stillness. Their painted layers and material depth invite the viewer to enter their space with mind and body, into a carefully conjured realm..." To watch the animation use the links below : MUTATIONS
