In "Creating the Third Space", Mahroo Movahedi combines various forms of art to create an encounter: Travelling on a passenger ship on the Lake of Zurich she will relate Farsi poems, which will then be written down on prints depicting Persian motivs. In the end the sheets will be transformed into folded paper boats, which symbolically connect two distant places: Zurich and Isfahan (Iran).
The project aims at exploring the complexity of language in a globalized world and it negotiates hybrid, multi-cultural identities. The past and the present are dynamically recombined in order to create an abstract space, in which language plays a crucial role and in which concepts of place, home, memory, identity,
territory, and geography overlap.
