Permanent Absence

 

2014 

Text & lecture by Mansoureh Aalaii 

Palais de Tokyo, Paris FR

Exhibition: Flamme éternelle by Thomas Hirschhorn

 

As a contribution to the critical body of work created by Thomas Hirschhorn for his exhibition Flamme éternelle at the Palais de Tokyo, Mansoureh Aalaii performed a lecture based on a text she wrote about a life shaped by a state of permanent absence. The structure, rhythm, and language of the text echo the rhetoric of political manifestos, while its content unfolds as a declaration of love addressed to a beloved person. It engages with absence in its multiple forms.
