Gaps in my reading is a sculpture made of a 3x 4 meters curtain hanging from the ceiling. Each side of the curtain depicts a different repetitive pattern which is silk screened on the fabric.
A black and white geometric pattern on one side and gun figures with two hands in the air and a skull pointing its head up to nowhere are marching on the other side. The gun looks like a blind walking dead behind the cardboard fire flames in a DIY theater scene. Two sides of the curtain are connected with quadrilateral shapes which are cut and removed from the fabric. The gun figure pattern is borrowed from the book Cover of the Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon published in 1982 in Iran,Nilufar Press edition. A classic analysis of colonialism and decolonization.
