OUROBOROS: Audio-Visual installation by Pitheorem and Tarxun
STATEMENT:
Ouroboros is an audio-visual installation resulting from a collaboration between the visual artist Pedram Sadegh-Beyki a.k.a “Pitheorem” and sound artist Farshad Xajeh-Nassiri a.k.a. “Tarxun”.
“Ouroboros” is an ancient symbol depicting an immortal serpent eating its own tail, constantly re-creating itself in a circle. It is symbolic of the cyclic nature of the universe where creation begins after destruction and life springs from death. It also represents the idea of primordial unity and the interdependence of chaos and order.
This mysterious image has been used among a wide range of ancient religions and mythologies to describe spiritual concepts such as the Kundalini energy in Indian traditions, Yin-Yang in Chinese Taoism, the primary living entity in Greek mythology, the self-created solar deity Atum in Ancient Egypt whom raised from the chaos-water with the appearance of the snake and many other concepts in different regions.
This artwork was presented at the Tehran Annual Digital Art Exhibition 2016 “TADAEX06” in Tehran, Iran. It has also been awarded an honorable mention in London International Creative Competition 2016.
