Mehregan Meysami (b. 1990) works and lives in Stockholm, Sweden

Mehregan Meysami works primarily through a media-archaeological approach, at the intersection of moving image, printmaking, and photography.
Analog film and text are at the core of her artistic practice, which also encompasses installation, sculpture, sound, and works on paper.

Her work is oriented toward a socio-political horizon and investigates how techno-mechanical images shape the world and our perception of it. She continually returns to questions of representation, authenticity, space, memory, and time — but also to their erasure. Influenced by historical turning points, my practice engages with reinterpretations of history and recontextualizations of text and archival material. Meysami is drawn to an in-between space where the poetic and the political cannot be separated — where knowledge does not emerge directly, but is instead found within gaps, fragments, and displacements, and where poetry is inevitably political.
