Adonia Bouchehri is an artist working across moving image, performance, digital sculpture, mixed media works on canvas, and installation. Her practice explores how forms shift between virtual and physical states, and how images act upon the body, shaping perception, memory, and affect. Guided by intuition and an interest in conscious states, she works cyclically across mediums—where a digital sculpture might inform a performance, or a performative action leave its trace on canvas—creating spaces where image, object, and imagination continually unfold with one another.

THE MIND IS WEARING A MASK
PERFORMANCE 234—34/2



PERFORMANCE
The performance draws inspiration from my mother's Iranian heritage, her upbringing, and life in Iran until the 1979 revolution. It serves as a means for me to engage with this past, which often feels inaccessible. The work explores the notion of traces left by something that no longer exists, responding directly to this concept. By drawing upon the relationship between the persian garden and the persian carpet with reference to Foucault’s concepts of Heterotopias, the performance seeks to create a space interwoven with a blend of remembered and imagined fragments that hold a genuine and tangible presence.
