a VIDEO a day: Beauty and the beast

Tehran Zoo from Arash Khakpour on Vimeo.




I know Arash for a while now. He is such a beautiful person inside out. I remember the last conversation we had was about love, poetry, Rumi, intellectualism, and other beautiful things. Until he sent me a link to this experimental video he made. I haven't got the chance to talk to him about it yet, but I'm surprised. What the hell were you thinking Arash? Living in Tehran is a wildlife you didn't have to go to the zoo to capture it. Is it really? Iran is an endless open source with plenty of subjects as of the world in itself for making a piece of decent video art or two.
Oh, what the hell. I'm sure he knew what he is doing. He is devoting his life to his art. But I will ask him and then I'll get back to you with his ideas. It's always the best if you don't know the artist personally when you're doing a critic. Seriously, why?
