FLINCH
FLINCH is inspired by the visual outcomes of an event; photos describing the phenomenon of static moments after a chaotic occurrence. “Event”, here, refers to a devastating natural disaster, the latest celebrity scandal, the triumph of people or a brutal political change, an intense experience of a work of art or an intimate decision.

The static moment after chaotic events (a devastating natural disaster, the latest celebrity scandal, the triumph of people or a brutal political change, an intense experience of a work of art or an intimate decision). Where time is perceived as dead, was the theme of my graduation performance “FLINCH”. Based on the dramatic interpersonal relationships after the chaotic event the performance took on fiction and humor as a means of staging the dramatic.

FLINCH (06 04 17) - A publication
This publication is an extension of the performance FLINCH.
The images are extracted from photo series by Golara Jahanian between 2015-2017, and selected in collaboration with the photographer. The restless feeling in her work; the dead moments after an explosion, an accident or a sudden laugh, has led to the desire to bring them together in this publication.
