Statement:
As the world is becoming smaller and smaller for us, we still have limited access to each other. We merely understand the codes that make us read images through a distance that seems very near but still so far.
Tehran would be a perfect destination for the project initiated by Parkingallery to exchange exciting examples of various responses to disconnection and connectivity at the same time.
