Sina Seifee, professional doctorate candidate for MERIAN, will present video installation at nadine in Brussels during the Relaxing Horror Tales for Children & Adults. The opening is scheduled for 16 October at 18:00 and will be open to the public until 31 October 2025.
The exhibition Relaxing Horror Tales for Children & Adults presents a video installation by Sina Seifee that offers viewers an immersive experience of a children’s book with deconstructed fairy tales. The installation operates as an intermediary apparatus using the classic Pepper’s Ghost illusion. Memory lapses, unstoppable rage, stuttering, and unconscious idioms, which are often associated with the incompleteness of a child’s comprehension, are part of the newly organized fictions for adults. Composed of disjointed performances, spoken word, and various audiovisual elements, the story-image narrative is knotted by many discontinuous lineages and characters of puppetry, folk literature, and demonology in Czech and Persian cultural milieus. Relaxing Horror Tales is a modest engineering of perception—emerging from an artistic experiment rather than a psychoanalysis that invests in the wonders of ambiguities, a pleasant non-dissolution of childhood in adulthood.
