Bahar Majzadeh is an Iranian artist-researcher who lives and works between Paris and Marseille. After finishing a thesis in Art at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University in 2019, she is now a Temporary Research and Teaching Assistant (ATER) at Aix-Marseille University. She’s following a « practice-based research » approach that implies a theorized practice. She makes use of multimedia tools, at the crossroads of the fine arts and digital arts. Her hybrid projects include radical cartography, drawings, photographic images, sound, volume and video. While in this interdisciplinary approach the creative process remains the main instrument, writing is apprehended as a research method. It aims to enrich our knowledge and understanding through a sensitive investigation.
