Darius Dolatyari-Dolatdoust (France / Iran / Germany / Poland ) is an artist, performer, choreographer and designer. His approach revolves around the manufacture of costumes, which he considers in turn as a space of transformation and hybridization, in its capacity to modify our relationship to the body, dance and language. Clothing thus becomes a means of questioning one’s identity, whether by recalling one’s Iranian origins, creating costumes inspired by Persian works from the Louvre, deconstructing our dominant relationship to other species, and by imagining hybrid creatures on the border of humans and animals.
He has presented his performances and artworks in galleries and institutions such as Fondation Fiminco (Paris), Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve (Paris), Wiels Center for Contemporary Art (Brussels), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), Mudam Luxembourg - Museum of Modern Art (Luxembourg), Momu - Fashion Museum Antwerp, Villa Noailles (Hyères), le 19M (Paris).
He will be a resident artist at Villa Kujoyama in 2025.
