Shahram Entekhabi is an Iranian artist living in Berlin. Bending gender as role-play is an ironic take on cultural stereotypes in Berlin’s lower class societies with a spin on immigrant experiences. Shahram Entekhabi is none of the characters he portaits, because he sees little value in their aesthetics. Desire here is portayed as something people end up with, when they don’t trust themselves and get trapped in someone else’s projections instead.
Humour & the Modern Clown / Muscles & Masculinities. A complex, intriguing object, The Book By Shahram Entekhabi. It’s hard to know how to grasp it, where to begin, on these pages that summarise the iconography of migrant males, tragicomic queens and the faceless on the margins of urban contexts, who have become the Iranian-Italian-German artist’s recognisable brand and evidence of how the only possible inhabitant of a globalised world is solely and exclusively the stateless one. Photographs, video frames, interviews, textual interventions: materials are disseminated in a fleeting topology. Not even the title helps us. What can this book be? What does it want to be? A jotter of reflections and notes for the future?
A diary of autobiographical surroundings - episodes, places, circumstances, companions? A ledger of clarifications, of showdowns? Something does indeed gain headway in those who come across this odd treasure, odd map. A perception, an empathy... The un-traceable Shahram, the leading player in a theatre of provocative masks and insolent stories, walking on the razor’s edge of homesickness for an imaginary country of origin, for a house of birth that proves to be nothing more, and nothing less, than a limit idea, an identity passed on infinitely. Theatre, self-irony, melancholy. Clown. ... and the map, is it complete?*
