Depuis que je suis ici, j'ai lu des lettres d'artistes partis à l'étranger à leurs amis.

Il y a quelque temps, j'ai lu une lettre d’un écrivain iranien Gholamhossein Saadi,

à son amoureuse. ça a été comme si je l'avais écrite moi-même :

خوشگلم، اینجوریست دیگر، هیچکس نیست. نیست و نیست

تمام شبها مرده‌ها به خوابم می‌آیند

آب زیاد می‌خورم، چاره‌ای ندارم

Ma belle, c'est comme ça, il n'y a personne.

Des morts viennent dans mes rêves toutes les nuits.

Je bois beaucoup d'eau, je n'ai pas le choix.

-While we're here, they're already dead- consists of five main materials: a light table, a camera, several artificial hands, and objects. Each of these materials comes from different places. Some are related to my life in the last few months and some are rooted in the past. In working with these materials, I tried to understand how I could find my dramaturgy for this composition. How are images related to bodies and how is the stage a place to summon the absent? How can -self- and -otherness- manifest in a solo? how does the narrative move forward through objects that are clear and ambiguous at the same time?

The starting point of this piece began a few years ago. When many different incidents, images, and events began to penetrate my mind. Some stayed, some got transformed and some made changes in me. All these incidents, images, and events, in addition to their traces in me, became “May I Show You?”.

On the one hand, the piece is a self-portrait, but it is not wholly personal due to all those things that made me make it, therefore it’s not all about me, but about my home, my neighborhood, my city, my country, and the world I’m living in.

The piece is a composition made by assembling all those events, images, incidents, and their traces in a new context, and presumably, this assemblage gets shaped differently each time it’s going to be re-composed.
