Salome Ghazanfari

www.salomeghazanfari.com

Salome Ghazanfari’s multi-disciplinary work is an investigation into different social structures and their corresponding tropes. She is concerned with language and rituals, and the way these help to identify different social groups.

Much of Ghazanfari’s work is carried out in the streets, and is a direct response to her own experience and interactions. Raw materials include texts from drug dealers; photographs of sneakers or brothels; and gay club posters, thus drawing on street cults and nightlife; style and body fetish; class, gender and sexuality. These themes are filtered into video, installation, performance and photographic works that represent a multifaceted, transgressive practice.

 

Exhibited at Griffin Gallery in Young Gods in January 2013.
