ABOUT
God Party is a high resolution LED wall installation. Having waited over a decade for technology to catch up to the scale of his ambition, Farahmand was able to move the camera through the environment with uncompromising control and precise repetition. The film’s laws were calibrated to those of contemporary advertising, in that poetry, symbolism and allegory co-exist with spectacle and pageantry. Characters act out fragmented vignettes of stylized atrocity, like merged algorithms of social media, banner ads, news and pop-culture fever dreams.
