Disclosed Presence
Fariborz Karimi’s artistic research is focusing on the spectator’s imagination and the act of collective listening. He works with different materials such as text, soundscapes, mundane conversations, and phone calls, in order to create an overlap between outside and inside spaces. Through his practice, Karimi explores fragments of socio-political issues in the mundanity of everyday conversations.
Furthermore, he questions how different spaces, apart from their geography, could overlap or be birthed from one another. Considering this, he uses storytelling strategies and choreographic text between fiction and reality, shifting between languages (Farsi and English), and theatrical tricks to create the illusion of a live production. Currently, Fariborz is experimenting with new forms and materials as his focus is to refine and expand his formal and visual language.
Disclosed Presence is the temporary title of this performance, which is part of Fariborz’s master’s artistic research at DAS Theatre School, Amsterdam University of Arts (2021-2023). In this residency, Fariborz collaborates with Negar Esmaeili and Amin Banitaba.
