Reza Kianpour’s project plays with the idea of attachment and our relationship: to a nationality, to an identity, to a culture, to a community, to a belief… In the manner of a performance, he stages his image in real size to give the illusion of clinging relentlessly to the pole. This visual game, which becomes more meaningful when the wind starts to blow, invites the audience to question the complex relationship between the individual and his sense of belonging.Born in Tehran, Reza Kianpour arrived in Luxembourg at the age of nine. From 2003 to 2009, he studied visual arts at the École de Recherche Graphique and product design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels before starting his career as a designer in 2010. He divides his time between his graphic studio and his personal multidisciplinary projects. He is also involved in the cultural scene as a member of design and project selection committees.
