For her second exhibition at the gallery, in camera presents around twenty works of Sissi Farassat.
Vienna-based artist Sissi Farassat (b. 1969, Tehran) has always kept pace with her own drum, continually expanding traditional notions of the medium of photography. For years she has been exploring and designing various techniques in order to decelerate the photographic process and the way we see her works. For Farassat, photography and printing are only the beginning of her creative journey, as what follows are long days and evenings of elaborate handwork and delicate alterations. The print is often embroidered, perforated, studded with stones and sequins, decorated with threads or garlands, practices that were once considered women’s crafts but have since become widespread.
