“I generally refer to history and politics in my work not as a historian, but as an artist. And as an artist, I keep a respectful distance from reality in order for both myself and audiences to have an opportunity to creatively imagine and perhaps invent some stories from what exists within my art. My artistic approach toward history is based on poetic feelings and I always try to remain only as a narrator.” — Mehdi Farhadian (Arjun Sahgal, “Interview with Mehdi Farhadian”, Easel, 22 January 2019)
