Hend Floyd's World

I don’t know

I didn’t even want to

I was so heavy

I am still so heavy

Not sure if I am heavy of responsibilities towards you 

Or am I full of agony to be someone I never knew!

It is like that feeling you got the moment you were born,

Yes, Yes, I know I wasn’t there but they told me..

You didn’t cry you remained silent for a few moments until the doctors hit your ass, I am sure it was fun, if i were there I would have laughed for such a scene.

Sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, it is just funny.

I never got the chance to ask you in person why didn’t you cry?

Were you surprised with life out of the womb? 

Were you happy? Sad? 

I know you can’t remember

Me neither, I can’t remember how did it feel

You didn’t choose to come from nowhere to this miserable world

Neither do I .. 

Either of us didn’t choose anything from all these consequences.

I didn’t choose to get born that late to be the youngest child in the family.

Yes, I know you will say that I was spoiled, I was lucky to be the youngest.

But believe me, It wasn’t that fun.

Not sure if my sister told you about my childhood?

Anyway, I can’t remember my childhood, it was more than 70 years ago.

They didn’t guide me ..

I wasn’t guided.

I wasn’t told 

Behave, 

Breathe, 

Be careful, 

But I was actually

Beaten

Bullied 

Buried

I know you will never believe this cause your mother brought you up wisely 

She made you never believe what your eyes never seen.

That also is questioning why do you believe in an invisible God but you don’t believe me?

That’s why you don’t believe my sister when she tells you that she sees transparent people around the house.

But you just pretended to believe, 

Pretending

It has always been your way of survival.

That’s why you never believed in magic.

Although I am sure it exists 

Don’t believe your mother about her ironic telling about the spells I had done to keep our family united.

At least I tried..

I don’t even have the right to tell you what to believe and what not to,

"The purpose of torture is not getting information. It's spreading fear." - Eduardo Galeano.

Executions has always been performed in a form of a spectacle in order to spread fear, in all eras. This project is divided into two parts the first part is a publication of a comparative text between execution in two different ages from a performative perspective, and the second part is a visual moving image that has an indirect projection and a relation to the spectacle of the executions mentioned in the publication.

Life is a maze rather than being a straight path. We may take wrong directions or turn at unexpected  places; it begins with birth and ends with death. In between, we try to shape our lives to be more fulfilling or to attempt to leave behind an imprint. We navigate through the life maze, being driven by desires, necessities and aspirations. Some believe the journey itself is the purpose, while others find hope in searching or creating for meaning.

'A maze that is not like a maze' is a participatory installation in public space. It is built by old windows, Shutters and reused wood boards.

Adult toys 

Interactive objects

Popular understandings of the terms “sex” and “toys” make the pairing of both seemingly contradictory or at the very least taboo. Sex, which is strictly considered an adult activity, is at odds with common associations of toys—as an object dedicated and designed for children and teenagers. In some countries, the sexual dimension of toys has been especially prevalent. For example, in countries like Japan, dildos have been produced to resemble animals or cartoon characters, such as Hello Kitty, rabbits or dolphins. Similarly, pain, lust, and torture may all be found in specific sex toys. In the past, those who produced torture devices sometimes made sex toys as well. Yet the question remains: why are torture devices and sex toys takes as mutually exclusive object that can not be used “playfully” and treated as “adult toys”? The interactive installation addresses this question and is but one part of an ongoing project.

Ehssan

Story telling, drawing, installation

“Ehssan is a self-centered project reflects the relation between the memory and what remains; which had portrayed in my relation with my grandparents house, and how that short time in my life was significantly efficacious in my orientations”
