The work of Nadalian for exhibition of unclaimed luggage based on his previous work in Spain and France. On the 11th of March 2004, Ahmad Nadalian was traveling from Tehran to Mallorca, via Madrid. He landed in the capital city only a few hours after the terrorist attacks at Atocha train station, and found himself face to face with the stone silence with which individuals stood in front of their offices, shops, restaurants, and homes, expressing their anger at the slaughter of innocent lives. “Years ago, I began to work in nature, escaping the sound of bombs and destruction in my country… I traveled throughout the world to spread my message of respect towards our rivers, the sea, the trees, the fish… But in everywhere, in every country, I find myself face to face with the tragedy of innocent victims. What is their sin? What have we done to deserve this? Through this action, the artist invites us to reflect upon the nature of terrorism, the value of life, and the global, race-less character of this type of tragedy. Performance & Installation by A.
