The video work focuses on the fundamental structure of film and its relation with concepts such as time, space, and movement. While the invention and evolution of cinema are in fact based on the illusive nature of human perception, the medium is broadly known as the closest form for capturing real-time movement. By taking into account issues such as time perception, memory, and displacement, the formal experiments here aim to highlight the dichotomy between reality and illusion in the nature of film. The work is inspired by the artist's self-reflections upon personal perceptions of time, space, and movement through his immigration experience from Iran to Canada and the adaption process in his new home. RESTLESS PIECES OF TIME is an assemblage of a series of short video sequences, originally presented in form of an installation, but here interlinked through lines of poetry written by the filmmaker.
