Tissue paper to ignite “Third World War” in Tehran

A graphic designer plans to use 108 rolls of tissue paper for a performance art work entitled “The Third World War” at the Iranian Artists Forum (IAF) in Tehran.
Hamid Torkashvand will begin his performance at the Paiz Gallery of the IAF at 3 p.m. on July 5, the IAF announced in a press release on Wednesday.

“The focus of the performance is the increasing speed of production, consumption and recycling, and the injection of artistic ideas into industry and trade in the modern world,” Torkashvand said.

The exhibition space of the gallery will be entirely filled with tissues and the scene will remain intact for public review until July 10.
