What I want at the AiR-Project:

As regards the program offered by Pro Helvetia and Rote Fabrik, this would give me an excellent opportunity to work together with professional artists from several countries in a new atmosphere. Beside this as I explained my work depends on bacteria, fungus and algae, so I need to find a new kind of bacteria, fungus and algae as a natural material, in a new atmosphere, to get different color and shape in my work. And related to the high technology in Swiss, I will get a good chance to achieve my work with professional finishing in the workshop. It would also give me the chance to meet another culture and to communicate with people belonging to another society. Especially in a time like ours with a lot of prejudices among the Western and the Middle Eastern societies, it would be a great opportunity to meet and to talk face to face. Besides this, I am very interested in getting in contact with the Swiss art scene, visiting Swiss museums and galleries, meeting Swiss installation artists and exchanging our views on contemporary visual art.
