Bio:

Zam Zadeh (whose real name is Azam Masoumzadeh) was born in Isfahan, Iran in 1989. She lives and works in Brussels since 2012. This visual artist defines herself as a “digital storyteller”. She digs deep into her childhood memories, her roots and her origins to set up her artistic practice and a narrative specific to her work very connected to the possibilities offered by some of the most recent medias.

Her art is social but also humorous and deeply philosophical. If it finds its roots in Persian tradition and poetry, her approach brings to life Persian wisdoms, with very contemporary medias and forms, to make them revealers of our time.

This work illustrate and transfigure a poem of the Rubaïyat, a famous collection of poems written by Iranian scholar and poet Omar Khayyam which dates from the 11th century and which the artist revisits here with very current concerns in mind. Zam Zadeh is also inspired by ancient Persian miniatures which she reinterprets graphically and sociologically.
 
The poem that has has inspired her work is

LIPS (لبها)

هر سبزه که برکنار جویی رسته است

گویی ز لب فرشته‌خویی رسته است

پا بر سر سبزه تا به خواری ننهی

کان سبزه ز خاک لاله رویی رسته است

How fair are the fringes of the stream!
Surely they sprang once from the lip of some beauty.
Trample them not with scorn,
For they spring from the dust of a tulip-tinted face.
