Edman is a retired Swedish engineer who traveled to Iran nearly 15 times between 1966 and 1979 on behalf of a Malm\u00f6\u2013based company <em>Agriconsult<\/em> for the purpose of realizing industrial projects for various Iranian state-owned and private industries. Among the projects Edman was working on in Iran, Sabahi follows the former Tehran slaughterhouse from its formation in a suburban area to its industrialization and further transformation to a culture house in the process of gentrification of the area. This slaughter\/culture house is carefully set as the meeting point of multiple narrations that Sabahi provides the audience with in the installation <em>Swede Home 1966\/1973\/1975\/2009<\/em>. These narrations are based on the diverse contributions of workers of Agriconsult and Tehran slaughterhouse in the research that the artist conducted around this non-lived past that she carries variety of its memories through different modes of transference. Approaching the found footage as both an insider and an outsider, her work deals with notions of belonging and displacement, identity, social memory and colonial modernity.<\/p>\n<p>Shirin Sabahi (b. Tehran) received her BA in photography from Tehran Art University in 2007 and her MFA from Malm\u00f6 Art Academy in 2009.
