Iran-born, U.S.-based artist Fariba Hajamadi combines the material means of photography and painting on a grand scale, piecing together fictional spaces from image fragments of institutional architecture. She has focused especially on the museum as a Western institution that de-contextualizes and re-contextualizes non-Western cultures. In this triptych, the perceptual tension between the encircled, idealized bronze forms at center and the mirrored image of a spiral staircase at either side seems to tug the viewer at once inward and downward. Meanwhile, the two outer panels of the work lean against the wall, tilting into the viewer’s physical space. (Kate Nesin, 2021)
