Phantom Matter
Zahra Zavareh

24.4.-4.5.2025

Detroit Stockholm

Phantom Matter presents Zahra Zavareh’s latest works, bringing together the sculpture series Cornered Fragmented Body and the VR video The Binding. The exhibition investigates power, memory, and fragmentation through bodily forms and intergenerational narratives of violence.

“...Inside Zahra Zahvareh’s 360 video, I start to wonder. Am I the ghost? A bodyless gaze. An ocular experience. I find myself in a doll pram, in a foreign, dreamlike environment. Without connection to my own physique. An organ without a body.
Haunting is that animated state where repressed or unresolved violence makes itself known. It can be direct. Other times oblique. Sometimes recognisable. Body parts. Their absence. Unheimlich. Home becoming unfamiliar. The unfamiliar becoming home. Singular, often repetitive instances. Bearings are lost. ”The over-and-done-with bones alive, when what’s been in your blind .”....
