Farideh Lashai
Farideh Lashai’s Catching the Moon and When I Count, There Are Only You… But When I Look, There Is Only a Shadow engage deeply with themes of history, violence, and remembrance. In When I Count…, Lashai reimagines Francisco Goya’s The Disasters of War, stripping the original etchings of their human figures and projecting fleeting animations onto the empty landscapes. This interplay of absence and presence creates a haunting meditation on the cycles of conflict and the erasure of individual suffering over time. The title, drawn from T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, and the evocative use of Chopin’s Nocturne 21 in C minor, further enhance the work’s reflective and ephemeral nature.
