In May 2012
I traveled to North Cyprus as a part of educational
program and festival of Design in the East Mediterranean
University.
Mahe- Mehr Caltural Complex represented me and some students of
Parviz Tanavoli participated in this festival.

I had the chance to take my fish under the water of Ocean.
Light and color
in underwater world was
a dream
I took my
bicycle
to
underwater.
I hold my fish under the water
Some
of the artists
and students of Eastern
Mediterranean University who
participated in the festival
came to visit my works.
Riding
bicycle
underwater was
more
imaginary and dream.
I
was flying in
the space of
underwater.
My
fish installed on the
rock
in
underwater
Wound
of mermaid
We had several performance in
underwater
I
have experience
printing on the ocean
floor.
I also carved some of the rocks
One of the
days at
the beach
I carved some fish on stone
and
I sold them. I buy some
gift for my
wife.
Eastern
Mediterranean
University is a big
university.
It has
more than thirteen
thousand students. A
significant of them were Iranian.
They
were very
kind to me. I
knew some of them befour.
My
workshop focused on
recycle art
and sand
print.
Many
students participated in
my workshop.
I
asked every student to design a recycled
cylinder for printing on sand.
They had
different
approach and the
result satisfied me.
I printed one of
my cylinders seal on the front beach of Mediterranean
I
I use my
bicycle of peace and printed some
phrase on sand
On the last
day I had long journey. I use bicycle and
traveled to the most northern part of of
the Cyprus
I
ride seventy
kilometer in
a half day.
It was hot and
humid weather for
riding.
On the way I saw different landscapes
I drop
fish in ocean
My destination was a village that they had
Eco
Market.
I saw
donkey in
Cyprus. They are well known.
On the way
back I saw that a
church
that
closed.
We
should not forgot that by closing every church
one mosque will be
close be
close too.
In
North Cyprus i also
preformed my project titled 'New Borders"
We
live in a
world where racial
differences
result in separation
of mosque and
church.
Postmodern man
is looking for
an identity. But
in many cases
the result is not very ethical.
Some
participants did not
complain of
separation.
One of the
girls who had
participated in the
workshop,
told
me that she live in village that
neither north Cyprus nor south.
UN is
protecting the area.
Years ago
some artists
from
South
Cyprus asked
me to join them for a project named
Unclaimed Luggage.
In any war we should take our suitcase.
Now the war is over but there is separation and New
border
We live in
a world where is big
but small.

Riccardo Zipoli was born in Prato (Italy) in 1952. He took his degree in
Persian language and literature at Venice University in 1975 and since then
he has been teaching Persian language and literature there.
As of 2010
he also teaches Conceiving and Producing Photography at the same university.
He was director of the Dipartimento di Studi Eurasiatici of Venice
University from 1990 until 1996 and from 1999 until 2005. He is the autor of
numerous publications concerning the classical and contemporary Persian
litterature. He has carried out an intense translating activitiy, with a
special interest in the Indian-style authors (in particular Sâ’eb and
Bidel). In 1982 he won the Leone Traverso prize – in the section for a first
work– with the translation of the Qâbus-nâme.
|
He was the first to
introduce Abbas Kiarostami’s poetic works to Western readers with the
Italian translation of Hamrâh bâ bâd, which was followed up by a
translation of the second book of poems by the Persian film-maker, Gorg-i
dar kamin. He began taking photographs in 1972. The first shows of his
works were held in the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (1976), and Il
Diaframma, Milan (1977). Since then his photographs have been widely shown
and published in Italy and abroad (in 1977 some of his photographs were
shown at the 14th São Paulo Art Biennial, Brazil). In 1978 he graduated with
a diploma in film direction and direction of photography from the Centro
Sperimentale di Cinematografia, Rome. His photographic publications include
Venezia alle finestre (Venice 2006), a book of photographs of
Venetian windows reflections with Italian translations of Iranian lines of
Bidel (the photos were shown in Rome, Venice, Tehran, Potsdam and Paris). In
2007 he curated a photographic exhibition about Iran (Centro Culturale
Candiani, Mestre-Venice): Iran people roads landscapes, photographs by
Abbas Kiarostami, Riccardo Zipoli and 56 Contemporary Iranian photographers,
where he showed some of his photos of the Persian landscape. He has recently
shown his photographs at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Tehran in 2008
and at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie of Paris in 2009. An
anthology of his works may be seen at www.riccardozipoli.com.

Solitude and infinite distances
On
the occasion of Professor Riccardo Zipoli and his
family’s visit to the Paradise Art Center in Hormoz.
Ahmad Nadalian
Riccardo Zipoli is a poet-photographer born in Italy,
where he currently lives. His photographs often depict solitude, with a
point of view that embraces the spatial and temporal infinity of nature.
His attention is focused to a less extent on the details and matters of
everyday life. The nature that he portrays in his works is a show of
boundless spaces: such kind of nature existed in our past, but it is not
unknown to him. It may be that we will lose such nature in the future.
The contemporary man knows a lot about the details of nature. But such a
focused point of view has led us to forget the overall picture. Another
way exists: if we look at the Earth from high above we will be able to
acknowledge its infinite dimension. It is only by standing far away from
the moon that we manage to admire it in its entirety.

Where is paradise? : The Thirty Seventh Environmental Art Festival
Paradise- Polour
Report by Ahmad Nadalian
http://www.riverart.net/paradise/festivals/37/index.htm
Paradise is our happiness
Paradise is my home
I share this space with many artists
Our Paradise has a window to see a different world
I can see the sunset on top of Damavand. The tresses of clouds caress
the mountains.
Where can think of
Heaven
Last year a Dutch writer named Maya Raskar came to our center and stayed
with us for two weeks.
Unknown Destination
is the title of one of the Maya's book
Maya said that
Christians believe
heaven has an
earthly position.
She had an old version of
the Bible from
Seventeenth century that
belongs to her ancestors.
It had a map and
around Susa south
west of Iran.
Maya wants to write a novel about paradise.
She found our center when she searched the word paradise on the
Internet.
Maya decided to start her research at a location that is beside the
highest mountain of Iran Damavand that is mythical background.
Sometime my mother bakes bread with dairy farmers in Polour.
Last spring, Teresa and David came to our Paradise.
They are originally from Germany but live in Dubai.
They want to travel the world with this car. Iran is the first country
they drove to and paradise is the first centers.

The purpose of this trip is to collect evidence that the release of
plastics can harm the environment.

The result of plastic left in the environment that is eaten by the
animal.
Before I carved the goddess, this location was collecting waste.

My mother pores water behind them and drops some coins on the day they
left the center. This is an old tradition to wish the passenger a good
journey.
She prays for them.
Another guest that came to our paradise in August 2012 is Samira De
Smith. She is from Netherlands.
Samira has studied in different areas: Anthropology, Philosophy,
Sociology, Economics and Art.
Her works include installations, performances and video are. In
Paradise she arranged an installation. One night she stayed with
seven shepherds in the mountains and filmed their life.
Her body was itching the next day. Many insects attack her.
