This work is a mix of images and typography with two languages: French and Persian. It’s also a research on human-animal.
The images are based on the drawings of a renaissance scientist called “Ulis Aldrevandi”.
All the typography charts are made in the two languages for this work. It is made in the book form (20x20 cm) and also an installation made of the images printed on papers on 2x2 m surface of a wall.
For me in this work the text play a role of image, because generally I don’t want to force people to read my text. instead, I leave them completely free to choose between watching and reading.
