Research Trip to Avesta Memorial Urgench (UZ)
During my artist residency at Goethe Institut Tashkent 2019, I was traveling all across Usbekistan for a couple of days. My destiny was the Avesta Memorial, a hugh sculpture and park in honor of the book Avesta. I met the director in the museum next to the park. After sharing a cup of tea, he introduced me to his collection of artefacts and paintings from different centuries, all relating to Zoroastrianism. Still impressed by the extravagance of the monument, I let myself float through his stories and imagery.
