Derived from the courageous stories of migration in boats and contradicted with the derogatory term “FOB”, OFF is an exploration of bodies in misplacement. This film makes palpable a vulnerable experience through the sensibilities and motions seen on the skin, spine, hands and feet. The camera creates a placeless of place , ungrounding and situating the body in a void. OFF aims to create an emotional landscape through physicalizing the cinematic experience in order to seize a deeper human connection. ——

Farideh Sakhaeifar @faridehsakhaeifar (b. 1985) is a New York-based artist born in Tehran, Iran. She received her MFA from Cornell University in 2011 and her BFA from Azad Art and Architecture University in Iran in 2008. Sakhaeifar’s work ranges from photography to installation and sculpture. Her work seeks to produce a translational understanding of the social and political struggles in which she has been involved either directly or indirectly. Sakhaeifar was awarded a Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Residency in 2012-13, Bric Media Arts Fellowship, Residency Unlimited, 2017, Queens Museum Studio Program 2018 and The Shed Open Call 2019. Her work has been widely covered including in ArtFuse, The Guardian, and Hyperallergic. "Halabja, 1988" is about the chemical attack Saddam -- with support from his western allies including the U.S -- carried out against the Kurds of Halabja of Iraqi Kurdistan. Saddam committed the genocide in the closing year of the eight years war between Iraq - Iran in which Iraq invaded parts of Iran. He used chemical weapons in Halabja forty-eight hours after the Iranian forces peacefully entered the village. As a result of the attack, 3,200 to 5,000 lives perished and 7,000 to 10,000 were gravely injured. To this date, the chemical attack on Halabja remains the largest case of using chemical weapons against the civilians.
This piece is a poetic interpretation created from collective narratives of the attack survivors. "Halabja, 1988" is a collaboration between Farideh Sakhaeiand Isabel Umali. "Halabja, 1988" by Farideh will be on screen April 20th at @spectrum_nyc
