I Wept in Place of Every Stone in the World by Mania Karimianpour

I Wept in Place of Every Stone in the World

Artist: Mania Karimianpour Curator: Maryam Firuzi

House of Lucie Budapest presents an exhibition exploring our relationship with matter, the body, and physical existence.

𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐲𝐚𝐦 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐮𝐳𝐢 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟐.

In her artistic practice, Mania Karimianpour perceives every element and every encounter as something that extends beyond its material existence. She seeks to draw out the spirit of things, to breathe life into it, and to share it with others. She brings her sculptures to life with the same intensity and audacity with which she allows herself to be transformed before the camera.

In this exhibition, we invite you on an Odyssean journey—an inward voyage that begins with an undeniable bond with matter, the body, and physical existence. For here, the body is not something to be denied or transcended in the search for the essence of being; rather, it is acknowledged and embraced in the fullest sense of the word.
