On the Edge of the Galaxy

The one you wanted to get lost in the dust!

9 min

«On the Edge of the Galaxy» is a nine-minute passive virtual reality video installation in a 360 - degree micro-theater space that tells a romantic story in three scenes of devotion, courtship, and separation. A love that ultimately leads to the migration and distance of lovers, causing their separation. Four monitors are embedded around the audience, displaying images of Persian miniatures and inserts as well as images of an Iranian woman. In the space between the monitors are candles, wine glasses, a place for Persian poetry, and a stage where four female Iranian pop singers before the Islamic Revolution sing songs about love and separation.
