contemporaneity-119	Khoshgozaran, Gelare	Artist Statement: rial and tERROR	2014	3	.pdf	application/pdf	712	22	40	As a result, rial and tERROR was a short film that, through the usage of found archival material—pre-revolutionary Iranian TV commercials of U.S. products, Iranian 1960s Psychedelic rock music, pirated tapes of the 1980s American music videos illegally distributed in post-revolutionary Iran, home video footage, etc.—created an anachronistic video collage. By way of spoonerism in the title, rial and tERROR,1 and the anachronism in the structure of this piece, I was inclined to create a shifted narrative of a generation born and raised in the contemporary Iran, post-1979 Islamic Revolution, during the Iran-Iraq War and currently living in diaspora, with regards to the notion of “fun” as it was presented to us through American popular culture in a country with a complicated history of former alliance and tight economic ties and current conflict with the U.S Imperialism.	cache/contemporaneity-119.pdf	txt/contemporaneity-119.txt
