Mina Masoumi, “On Manners of Dance and Ecstasy”, on display
2022
BERLIN, STURM AND SLANG, ARCHIVE
Displayed at Pickle Bar during the Sturm and Slang program, the artwork "On Manners of Dance and Ecstasy" by calligraphy and visual artist Mina Masoumi intricately weaves the words of the title in Farsi script. At its center, "در آداب" (on manners) serves as the introduction, guiding the eye through the intricate of the letters composing the words "رقص" (dance) and "طرب" (ecstasy), which spiral around it like a complex knot. This movement symbolizes the hands of a dancer entwined in the rhythm of music, shimmering together to intertwine the visual and auditory essence of the words.
