Crude Milk

Studio17 invites you to the exhibition opening of Crude Milk by our current artists in residence, VidAmir (Vida Kashani & Amir Komelizadeh).

Crude Milk is a multi channel video installation combining moving image, text, sound and sculpture.

The work reflects on what it means to live within an oil nation, materially, psychologically and politically. It explores a central contradiction where welfare and comfort coexist with extraction, dependency and unease.

Drawing on Norse and Iranian mythologies, Crude Milk approaches oil not only as a resource, but as inheritance shaping memory, identity and everyday life.

At its center is a divided voice questioning how one resists a system one also benefits from.
