In the performance of "Saeed ..." the most important issue was how human society: how human beings get together and the kind of relationships they create. The collective biology of man constantly leads him to the construction of society, and the construction of this society always leads to the collapse of the collective relationship of man. In fact, human beings are separated by what unites them.
As Hannah Arendt mentioned: “What makes mass society so difficult to bear is not the number of people involved, or at least not primarily, but the fact that the world between them has lost its power to gather them together, to relate and to separate them. The weirdness of this situation resembles a spiritualistic séance where a number of people gathered around a table might suddenly, through some magic trick, see the table vanish from their midst, so that two persons sitting opposite each other were no longer separated but also would be entirely unrelated to each other by anything tangible.”
The performance took place in a red flat floor of 850 meters. We had 15 performers. and each member had a specific subject and medium for him/herself: video art, video performance, lecture performance, monologue, theater and .... During a process of months, these ideas together produced the output of a unique performance
