A Thousand Sunsets (2026)
In A Thousand Sunsets, Atousa Bandeh translates the colours of countless sunsets into a monumental textile landscape. Layers of everyday fabrics, lace, tablecloths and domestic textiles are combined with paint and pigment to form a sculptural whole that evokes a mountain landscape, a curtain or a shelter.
These domestic materials carry associations with memory and migration, referring to a home that may feel tangibly close while remaining out of reach. The lush, at times almost kitschy patterns thus take on a different meaning: what initially appears decorative becomes a carrier of personal and cultural memory. The recurring sunset marks the passing of time and the longing for a home that continues to exist in memory.
