Paper Myths, Grey Gardens Exhibition by Morteza Zahedi

Morteza Zahedi's curatorial statement for 'Paper Mythologies in Grey Gardens' presents an exhibition where meaning emerges from fragmentation and absence. The show transforms myths into fragile paper remnants and gardens into grey, silent spaces that archive absence. Zahedi argues that meaning is not discovered or fixed but constructed through gaps, silences, and dissonance. Viewers are caught in an interplay between meaning and meaninglessness, where not understanding becomes the beginning of understanding. The exhibition suggests that meaning takes shape within disorder, and the absence of structure becomes the condition for its creation. The statement emphasizes that narratives are not created to resolve problems but to live with them.
