Navid’s field of work lies between the orient and the occident and contains the many layers between image and action. His research is about identity in the field of transcultural images and in context art. He is interested in the Indian pictorial world, on which the Persian art history is based. The aim of his work is to create a ‘third space’ between orient and occident / European and eastern culture where a new concept of identity based on learning from each other can grow. Navid wants to focus his study on the Parsi community that resides in India.
