Statement:

Hiva Alizadeh's show at the Lajevardi Foundation is a selection of designs, hair objects and a large-scale interactive work. His colorful objects change our perception and the way we communicate with the environment, and the deep but subtle manipulation of the mechanism of sensory perception is their main specialty. They can be seen as a chain of games with the audience's imagination.  ///

Hiva's works sometimes resemble things as if we know them. Sometimes they turn into completely unknown forms. All in all, they reveal the complex functioning of our mental perception and subject mental models and conventional semantic frameworks that aim to accurately match objects with mental impressions to question, change and change. In this sense, they bring into play the classical principle of "association of meanings" and "complete matching of subject with object".

Hiva's intellectual project is to create a contemporary philosophical knowledge in which the meaning of the object can be changed according to the content of the audience's mind. Part of the eternal novelty of this artist's works lies in having such a vision, and for this reason, he can avoid repetition and keep the audience entertained with endless interpretations.

Hiva Alizadeh's works transform our usual understanding of the world around us and, as a creative and continuous effort, provide visual and emotional experiences which do not exist in our life a priori.
