Description

Reza Aramesh: Action by Number explores the intersection of art and violence through a unique visual language. Working across various mediums, including sculpture, photography, sound, and performance, Aramesh examines the history of Western European art and contemporary commentary on global conflict zones. By de-contextualising scenes of violence, Aramesh creates a critical conversation with Western art history, focusing on the representation and iconography of the male body in relation to race, class, and sexuality. This work also considers the notion of the historical sublime through the lens of contemporary reportage images of violence and horror. Through this distinctive approach, Reza Aramesh challenges our understanding of the relationship between power, brutality, and mediation in art.
