Four Rooms
2025
These are four linocut prints produced for the installation Four Rooms by the Toronto collective Elsewhere (Katrina Jurjans, Nellie Jalal Zadeh, Mehdi Latifian), exhibited at Gallery 1888 in Toronto. The four-chapter installation was an exploration of what Elsewhere calls the “four cardinal domestic quarters”. The installation held the four quarters in simultaneity, but each week one of the four was made predominant through cinematic, musical, and practical effects. Concordant with this, and echoeing the Tarot, each week one of the four cards was offered to visitors.
