"Studio 51" has been a collaborative project between Bahar Samadi and Navid Salajegheh since 2014. By recycling and re-employing pre-existing footages, as well as, textual/visual materials, and then processing them through a diverse extent of mediums, spanning from moving images to performance, installation and painting, they attempt to construct a series of micro narratives and assemblages, which reappear in a here and now that is alternative to their original time and space. The output of these projects are visual, auditory or tactile experiments that create new relationships between content and expression of materials. "Studio 51”, also, functions as a laboratory for these two artists to discover new forms for the possibilities of "working together" and, ultimately, to observe the way they evolve from one project to another.
