Born in 1982 in Tehran, Morvarid K has always lived and worked between countries. Shaped by her Iranian identity, Morvarid K grounds her artistic work in what she calls the invisible frontiers, desired or forced, personal or public, real or imaginary. Intrigued by human complexity, she creates dialogues between opposing forces in which she seeks beauty and poetry.
Through her projects, she aims at creating bridges between identities and cultures.
Her art pieces are often unique pieces, with a photographic base, refined through collages, superposition, layered with ink and drawings. Morvarid K has expanded her horizons through performance and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Ecotone
Ecotone
The work presented at InCadaqués 2020, Ecotone is a series of photographic collages, borrowing the ancestral technic of Kintsugi from Japanese craftsmen to celebrate perfection through imperfection, beauty and poetry within scars. Each composition is made of fragmented and scared photographs, preciously held together through their golden borders. These images bear the traces of their shared past, a performance by Morvarid K, Yuko Kaseki and Sherwood Chen, using photographs as raw material. Gorged with the essence of the performance and exalting the breach as generative, the photographs raise now the question of perception. What is seen as damaged and worthless by some, carries the irreplaceable imprint of a singular experience for others.
