Shahryar Nashat was in residence at LUMA Arles in 2022 / 2023.

Shahryar Nashat is a Swiss visual artist based in Paris. Focusing on our physical limits and the possibilities of extension, he treats digital and analogue technologies—from LEDs to stone and cast resin—as prostheses, props, or stand-ins. He has had solo shows at the Art Institute of Chicago (2023), Museum of Modern Art, New York (2020); SMK—Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen (2019); Swiss Institute, New York (2019); Kunsthalle Basel (2017); Portikus, Frankfurt (2016); and Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin (2016).

Citation(s)

"This work is like a real-time self-portrait that is constantly changing over the next six months."

Interview with Shahryar Nashat
In this video, Shahryar Nashat talks about his installation "Reverse Rorschach", a constantly evolving real-time self-portrait. The visuals are generated by the artist's emotions, captured by a device he wears at all times. The images projected into the space are subject to interpretation by those contemplating them, like a veritable Rorschach test.


The exhibition is produced by the LUMA Arles & Google research initiative.
