Asal Barati's artworks:
‘We are devoted to the small joys of these moments. Perhaps we cannot dreaming about the future. Each distractive branch of the imagination and dream will separate us from the small wonders of the moments.’
In this work, I bring the concepts of dream, joy, and time to the fore. Dreams and fantasies that are tied to the fleeting moments of everyday life are identifiable in the calendar of time. I have found the map of these events and imaginings in the images of my phone gallery. A pattern of repeated disorganization of reality and fantasy is evident in the captured images.
What is captured by the mobile phone camera is mostly the fine, special and wonderful moments created from the world around us, and other images are often taken from scrolling in digital pages and capturing these moments.
So, I have divided them into real joys and virtual dreams and kept the pieces of joy for myself and auctioned off the golden dreams.
