[ DESCRIPTION ]
A miniature painting set in motion. A hunt on the mountain, a court, a bathhouse and a garden are joined into one long panorama, and every figure in it moves on its own. The sources are leaves from Azerbaijani and Persianate muraqqa albums, whose pages were cut, remounted and reassembled across collections. Pavilions, rocks, trees and courtiers are separated into planes and animated. The film runs two minutes and thirty seconds, with sound. It was shown in the Azerbaijan Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019, curated by Gianni Mercurio and Emin Mammadov.
