Nikta Mohammadi - 'Looking at landscape as a creature that's alive' | The Lowry

Open now and free to the public, 'Memory Stone' is Nikta Mohammadi’s first solo exhibition, premiering a new film commissioned by The Lowry.

Memory Stone is a film installation exploring dreams and displacement within the context of the British countryside, accompanied by a visceral soundscape by composer Babak Mirsalari. Combining elements of science fiction and Iranian mythology, Mohammadi reflects on her own and other migrants’ psychological and physical relationship with land and place. The work follows a rambler wandering rural Calderdale; a curious otherworldly structure unearths memories that were removed from their consciousness. An ancient dream or a misplaced history, perhaps belonging to their non-existent alien ancestors.
