Stacks of family photo-slides were bought from an unknown person. The dates and the texts reveals the fact that they contain the history of a family for over two decades: persons, places, parties, holidays … Maybe just a voyeuristic eye, can find a relation between these slides. Although in the absence of their actual memory, new scriptures can be playfully added to them. Then during this textual game, two separate texts are formed after a process of investigation which rapidly turn into a conversation between the artists. In a slide projection they are destined to pass through a device to be processed again.

Bahar Samadi & Navid Salajegheh
Studio 51 is a collaborative project between Bahar Samadi & Navid Salajegheh since 2014. The main theme of their projects is recycling and re-employing pre-existing or found and often anonymous footages, textual and visual materials. Studio 51 attempts to rewrite and process these toward various extended mediums from moving image to performance and from installation to painting. Constructing a series of micro narratives, which re-appear in alternative time and space.
