Rushes is a timestamp, marking the completion of my artist-film residency at MACA. In the last months, I haven’t shot a single frame of video. I’ve been drawing, singing, writing, and consuming news reels. As a Jewish-Iranian the war in Israel-Palestine and the global reaction have reframed my subjectivity and the context of my work. My short documentary Parasite by Proxy (2023), mostly filmed in the Middle East, is open to new interpretations. Previously discarded footage now becomes relevant archival material. From this process of shattering and rebuilding comes fragmentary and holistic outputs: two video loops, one short film, one sound memorial, one drawing.
