Home (خونه)
2D and 3D animation, 1920*1080px, 24 fps, 4:15 long, 2026
Where is home? What is home? These are questions that Home (خونه) doesn’t try to answer. Instead, it sits with them, and invites the viewer to do the same.
The idea grew out of time spent away from Iran, watching old memories of home blur into new ones made elsewhere. That’s when home started to feel like something bigger than a place of birth. Something you carry, something that shifts.
Home is a mixed media animated installation, warm and dreamlike in its feeling, finding its own visual language through the making of it. To deepen that experience, viewers are invited to watch it lying down. There is something about that position, open, still, a little vulnerable, that felt right for what the work is asking of people. To really let it in.
What has been happening in Iran since we began has quietly changed the weight of all of this, and we can’t pretend otherwise. We hope that everyone who encounters this work can feel the warmth that lives inside it. The warmth of everyone who made it, and everyone who trusted us enough to share a piece of what home means to them.
