Smoke and Hot Air | Ali Momeni



“Smoke and hot air animates my response to the relentless threats against Iran by a myriad of more fortunate countries in recent years. Sentences that include “attack Iran” are scavenged from Google News and spoken using a text-to-speech synthesizer. The voice is then picked up by a microphone, analyzed, and translated into rhythmically corresponding smoke rings from a quartet of smoke ring makers.”

I have dermatographia, a condition in which one’s immune system releases excessive amounts of histamine, causing capillaries to dilate and welts to appear (lasting about thirty minutes) when the hypersensitive skin’s surface is lightly scratched. This allows me to painlessly draw on my skin with just enough time to photograph the results.

“Glory Hole includes the word in four languages: Kadosh – Hebrew, Holy – English, Maqadas – Arabic and Hailik – Yiddish. The dense construction rises about an inch off the panel. Holy is a heavy word it hold extreme connectedness and extreme conflict simultaneously.”
