Villa Argentina

Arunà Canevascini – Villa Argentina

This work is a visual exploration of the relationship I have with my mother, Anahita, set in our family house in the  South of Switzerland. My mother is an Iranian artist. She  spent her childhood in Tehran as a secluded child,  a condition of isolation which she somehow replicates in  her adult life. The work represents the house of Villa Argentina as a  stage for her poetic universe and a backdrop for the poetic  arrangements of objects I made for the camera. In this creative solitude à deux , the work attempts  to explore issues of domesticity, feminity and sexual  boundaries.
