HASSAN SHEIDAEI

Hassan Sheidaei, born in Iran, presents in his installation video and sound recordings of cows in an emptied and darkened barn. Large-format projections with detailed shots of the animal bodies are shown, and their faces can also be seen for a few seconds. Animal noises fill the room via two free-floating megaphones. By reducing the animal to fragmented detailed views and loop-like listening impressions, Sheidaei approaches the subject of ANIMAL DIGNITY. He involves the viewers directly in his work as they enter the room, move around, take on different perspectives and make the megaphones vibrate.
