Taq-e Bostan, Arch of Stone

Oil on wood, 30 in x 40 in x 14 in

AVAILABLE

Part of the Dancing Within Our Worlds international collaboration, sculpting and building the essence of the sacred 4th Century B.C. Taq-e Bostan in my studio, acclaimed Iranian performer Yaser Khaseb powerfully transforms the ancient petroglyphs into breath, bringing the soul to the stone. 

In Yaser’s words:

“The performance of Vason is based on the Iranian legends….with emphasis on two legendary, mythical heroes: Rostam and Esfandiar ‘Gorasab’, Graz/ Horse. 

‘Vason’  means stone arch. This short film is a conceptual physical narrative of the passage of the throne of time and the life of Iranian kings (Sasanian period) in the climate area of the Boar hunt in the heart of the Silk Road expressing the art of body movement and the rebellious movements: Body/ Mythology Body”.

“Vason” will be shown in international festivals.
