Parastoo Anoushahpour, Faraz Anoushahpour, Ryan Ferko: Lovers' Wind

The collaborative filmmaking practice of Parastoo Anoushahpour, Faraz Anoushahpour, and Ryan Ferko explores tensions and uncertainties within images to surface critical perspectives on collective memory and the historical trace. Working between speculation, historical fiction, and documentation, the artists’ projects often excavate existing narratives to uncover the power relations and subjectivities shaped by them. Their exhibition, Lovers’ Wind, takes its starting point from the helicopter crash at Karaj Dam near Tehran that killed French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse in 1970, during the production of Le Vent des Amoureux (Bād-e Sabā, 1978), a state-funded documentary about Iran.
