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.

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.

Le Guin, who is considered one of the influential figures in literature in the United States today. Addressing ethical and spiritual questions of otherness and considering the perspective of the other, Ursula K. 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 ...
