The second iteration of "EXEO IN SPASM" exhibited at SAVVY Contemporary in the group exhibition "How Will You Ascertain Time?" a project which "takes the ongoing discourse on waiting by Shahram Khosravi as a point of departure, this proposition is founded on the reading of time through the lens of waiting. Waiting as a non-linear experience of time where the realm itself has no beginning or an end. It is a condition, one that lies on the periphery of capital and colonial time that is imposed and protracted as a mechanism to exercise authority, where time is a construct and value of the empire meant to be followed by its subjects".

A distorted child voice −the artist's voice as a five year old recorded in 1995 in Iran− swells through speakers and crashes against the cacophony of ambient noise reverberating and echoing in space.

Echo is a delayed resonance in space, and a clear memory of that day still resonates in my head, when I was sitting by our only tape recorder/player at home, recording my voice. I was about five years old. My parents were watching TV, talking to each other or on the phone. They were too busy to give me any attention at that time and since I was bored I decided to kill that waiting time by talking to the tape recorder and recording my voice on an empty cassette. I didn't know how to read or write so I started performing as a storyteller, sometimes improvising, and sometimes telling stories that I had memorized from books that my parents had read for me several times. During the recording I also sang parts of different songs −varying from kids' to political songs−, such as:

سر‭ ‬اومد‭ ‬زمستون‭ ‬[The winter is over], a revolutionary song of 1979 revolution in Iran. The poet of this song, Saeed Soltanpour, was executed on June 26, 1981 in Tehran. I remember I really liked this song since for me it was so much celebration of nature and its renewal, resonating on hope and natural elements like: mountains, forest, flowers, sun. I had no idea of its political context and metaphors.
