Mo H. Zareei grew up in Ekbatan, a brutalist residential complex developed in the mid-1970s in western Tehran, and his artistic sensibilities were shaped by the stark materialism and geometries of his environment. Zareei’s fascination with brutalism is woven through his research and practice, which draws on music, sound, light, and kinetic sculpture, and references both his affinity for minimalism and his educational background in physics.
