Winter/ Interior/ A Doll’s House

Winter/ Interior/ A Doll’s House reconfigures Ibsen’s feminist drama, anchored in the depiction of women within domestic interiors, through the spatial and political realities of Tehran. Performers were distributed across separate locations, their live feeds transmitted to individual video walls, producing a fragmented isolated portraits that foregrounds censorship’s regulation of intimacy.The impossibility of showing unmediated female presence, of representing women’s bodies in their unmediated form, or of depicting relationships and touch underscores the constructedness of representation itself. Deploying surveillance technologies, CCTV cameras, streaming interfaces, and fractured screens, the work interrogates the porous boundary between public and private space, exposing how women’s subjectivities are both mediated and constrained under conditions of visibility and control.
