45216 – 2019
The meaning of words is redefined as time passes and political, social, cultural and so on relations change. This process can go beyond just meanings.
In each work in the 45216 Collection, the starting point is the shape of a word. The work represents the process that has been applied to the meaning of that word. The artist has chosen the most repeated words from Ayatollah Khomeini’s lectures, articles and letters collected Sahifeye Noor. The name of this collection hints at this repetition: 45216 is the number of times these words appear in the work. For a complete list of these words, see the end of this page.
