Yashar Samimi Mofakham (b. 1979 Tehran, Iran) Samimi Mofakham is a calligrapher and print maker based in Tehran. His Paper Balls show discarded pages of Farsi poetry in scrumpled-up balls- allusions to the current status of visual and literary culture of his country, whilst in The Existence, his continual repetition of words over and over gives the works the appearance of constellations- almost completely black with flashes of white.
