About
Fatemeh Nazari is an Iranian multidisciplinary artist based in Istanbul whose practice spans drawing, video, installation, and research. Her work explores perception, time, and the construction of selfhood, asking how we see, how we experience reality, and how inner states shape our understanding of the world around us.
With a background in painting and over a decade of experience across the creative industries, Nazari approaches art as a space for inquiry, reflection, and transformation. Through moving image, sound, drawing, and spatial interventions, she creates contemplative environments that invite viewers to slow down, observe, and remain open to uncertainty.
Nazari recently completed an MA in Fine Art: Digital at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, where she developed a research-led practice centered on perception, time, and the experience of presence.
Blood Stained Pass is an installation combining video, drawing, mirror fragments, projection, and sound. The work explores perception, time, and the relationship between seeing and selfhood. Inspired in part by the tradition of Iranian mirror work, the installation uses fragmented reflective surfaces to create shifting fields of light, image, and perception. Across the installation, projected eyes begin in a state of closure and gradually open one by one, suggesting a slow movement from unawareness toward perception, attention, and presence. Reflections multiply and redirect these images throughout the space, creating a dialogue between observer and observed. The work emerges from a personal inquiry into the search for an authentic self beyond habitual identities and fixed definitions. Through the interplay of reflection, movement, and fragmentation, the installation invites viewers into a contemplative encounter with uncertainty and transformation. Rather than offering a fixed narrative, it creates a space for reflection on how perception shapes our experience of reality and how acts of seeing may reveal new ways of understanding ourselves and the world around us.
