at one point in the distant past (specifically the year 2017), i used twitter as an art medium for thoughts.
one evening at artist ali sabet’s studio, we conceived a project where these words would channel
images instantly, from one medium into another, a collaboration in the truest sense of the word.
it was a spontaneous approach between word & art, within the confines of minimal characters & white space.
we discussed the production of a limited-edition, pretty & compact art book as the conclusion.
a draft was quickly put together. the images flowed.
then, time past. ephemera.
nearly forgotten, a text ignited the memory.
so i decided to put out this manuscript, nearly untouched from edits, with the same ethos that composed it.
here lay words by amir motlagh, art by ali sabet, from the past, into the future.

is this love?
if i thought about cinema differently, i would produce long-form in exacting intervals, but the blending of time into a creative act is essence
from outside, its no activity & then, massive activity, compressed time
from inside, a single movement

What I’ve always found amazing about Amir Motlagh’s films is how he deals with connection in a disconnected world.....As Saam navigates his life and relationships, we as viewers are challenged to consider what is art, what is artifice, and what we think our world really is - Jamie Toth
I was sent this earlier and since it came recommended, i read it. Truth is, I don’t read attentively what people write about my work because good or bad, my creative pursuit wants to remain untethered to opinion, & its wave-like aftermaths.
But, when i get the impression that a connection was made, I get curious. And in this piece, that connection was made.
The Three Worlds piece by Jamie Toth can be read here or here.
