Description:
Now on view at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is “What Seems Simple” by Nasim Pirhadi.
In this work, Pirhadi stages ordinary gestures such as reading, brushing hair, tying a shoelace, or biting an apple - within the suspension of an underwater world. What is effortless elsewhere becomes heavy here, yet the body persists until difficulty itself feels routine.
This video work proposes a meditation on relativity. A single act can be seamless in one world and heavy in another. This is not about the futility of an action but about the familiarity of endurance. It is about how hardship, when experienced daily, becomes normalised. What should have been easy, is instead performed under pressure, and how life continues on.
“What Seems Simple” will be on view in the Alternator’s Project Gallery from November 7 - December 19, 2025.
