YASMIN NOORBAKHSH
Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.
“I am a multidisciplinary artist living in London. My
practice examines the notion of veracity, and I am particularly
interested in how our understanding of events
can be affected by media bias, personal and cultural
projection, assumption, and censorship. My work is
inspired by historical events as well as personal and
cultural belief systems. It focuses on the erasure of historical
and cultural events and objects and how they
lose their complexity and origin when looked at through
certain constructs or agendas. I borrow traditional and
historical elements and fuse them with elements of
contemporary practice, to create an ambiguous sense
of friction and collision.
As a female artist and a member of the Iranian diaspora,
my practice is infused with my experience of liminal
space and hybrid identity and its associated uncertainty.
There is constant questioning at the core of my practice.
My multifaceted layers, interweaving diverse motifs and
complex surfaces, depict the state of constantly existing
between two spaces; between the known and unknown;
the pleasant, and unpleasant; the West and the East, and
how sometimes these intersect and become intertwined”.
