Abstract

This article explores the installation Documentation by the artist Parastou Forouhar as an (un)sighted migratory archive of memory and forgetting. Operating in the liminal zone between a personal archive and a resourceful public space of memory and resistance, Documentation records in numerous post-produced letters, documents and reports the assassination of the artist’s parents and her efforts to seek justice. Exploring the archive’s transformation into an installation, the article discusses its operationality as an archive-as-activist art with its fractured and performative nature, and draws critical attention to the question of how its borders are manifested in the form of resistance and failure.

论档案艺术装置的阻力与失败

本文探讨了艺术家Parastou Forouhar的装置作品《文献》，将其作为记忆和遗忘的（未发现的）迁徙档案。在个人档案和足智多谋的记忆和抵抗公共空间之间的边缘地带，文献记录了许多后期制作的信件、文件和报告中艺术家父母被暗杀以及她寻求正义的努力。在探索档案馆向装置馆的转变时，文章讨论了它作为一种活动艺术的档案馆的可操作性及其断裂性和表演性，并提请人们关注其边界如何以抵抗和失败的形式表现出来的问题。
