"The Scream"
1998


acrylic paint, urethane foam, steel, motor, strobe light, with soundtrack by Bruce Darby 64 X 126 inches diameter Courtesy: the artist


In this cheery (or eerie) self-portrait of Barsamian, the mouth quickly opens wide and finally turns the head inside out. When the artist's mouth begins to engulf the head, everyday life items such as keys, boots, a house and a toothpaste tube appear from the head. In the course of the daily routine, there are just too many things the artist must say. This work symbolically expresses the artist being overwhelmed by the disorder of daily life.
