HALEH JAMALI / MONICA DE IOANNI – Departure
Haleh Jamali collaborates with a performer Monica De Ioanni in a two large-scale simultaneous projections.The figure is set against a white ground wrapped in fabric to create different shapes, sometimes very abstract ones. Haleh always was fascinated by the relationship between women and fabric and more specifically the drapes and forms created by the veil and the invisible gaze of the veiled women. Monica here uses fabric as a symbolic means to show the struggles and sometimes the frustration of individuals who’s identity have been disguised. In her endeavour she tries to overcome the obstacles and reveal her identity.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Jamali has a fascination with all varieties of materials and has extended her artistic talent to Painting, Photography and Video making. Her interest in portraiture and narrative stems from her desire to address the social aspects of representation, particularly as it relates to the female gender. Jamali states: “For me, the diversity, versatility, and unrivalled ability of portraits to communicate, make them an enigma. Indeed, my particular concern is to reveal the paradoxes and ambiguities behind the eyes of the portrait subject who tries to communicate emotions, arrest attention, and often express feelings of both attraction and repulsion”.Encouraging an intimate relationship between the viewer and the subject, Jamali considers how an individual’s identity can be constructed in relation to Others, whilesimultaneously suggesting that the Self and the Other are inseparable. Her artwork appears in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. Most recent exhibitions of her work include: Finalist Exhibition of Arte Laguna Prize, Nappe of Arsenale of Venice -Italy, Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts, Toronto-Canada; Edinburgh Iranian festival, Edinburgh- UK and La Viande Gallery, London-UK
