Attendance Book
Video Installation, 2024
Data and media Sources
Precise locations of participants’ residences (coordinates; level of precision may vary by personal preference), Personal archive: video calls (screen recordings) from already existing files.
Participants
My high-school cohort (Class of 2016) numbers 30; at the time of making (2023–24), 27 were living outside Iran
Material
Paper , Video, Sound
Attendance Book is a video collage mapped onto the sides of an accordion book. A long, accordion-folded sheet of paper becomes the screen for projected screen recordings from my video calls with friends who now live in different countries.
The video is muted; the room’s audio is a recorded soundtrack of hammering metal number stamps into the paper to engrave the coordinates.
