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.

MOVING IMAGE
Jello explores themes of isolation and obsession, showing how boundaries between everyday lived experiences, imaginative states and dreams can blend if we are cut off from human interactions and left to create a world far removed from society.

FROZEN
FILM 234—34/2



MOVING IMAGE
Images that pass through us leave enduring imprints, molding our thoughts and emotions. These transient images may seem to vanish from our consciousness, but perhaps they're frozen deep within our minds—both present and elusive. Throughout the film, a guiding voice leads on a journey to unfreeze these images. A frozen image exists in a paradoxical state of presence and absence, evoking a sense of foreignness. The film delves into how images silently influence and shape our behaviors, often beyond our conscious awareness.

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.
