Like a correspondence, Vanja Sandell Billström and Reza Hazare creates a collective view based on questions of privilege, responsibility and how both memories and bodies are deformed by living under pressure as a result of stress and refuge.
– We were invited to the participate in the project Shared history, hosted by Färgfabriken in Stockholm. As one of the result of our almost year-long collaboration, we exhibited the two-channel video ”Winzip Senses” at Färgfabriken in May 2018. During our process we have been exploring each others experiences of affinity and detachment to create intersections between our artistic works.
