"ELEKTROMAGNETIK'D" DELVES INTO A RANGE OF ARTISTS, REVEALING THE MYTHOLOGIES BEHIND THEIR WORK. THE UPCOMING EPISODE WILL FOCUS ON THE EARLY STAGES OF BLACK METAL AND ITS INFLUENCE ON RAHMANIAN’S LIFE AS AN IRANIAN GAY MAN. "AN OBSERVATION" IS AN EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO THAT REFLECTS THE NARRATOR’S STRUGGLES DURING ITS CREATION. RAHMANIAN EDITED THIS PIECE AS IF LIVING A LIFE OR PLAYING A VIDEO GAME ON AUTOSAVE – EACH CHAPTER WAS CRAFTED IN A SINGLE DAY, WITHOUT ALTERATIONS MADE TO PREVIOUS WORK ON SUBSEQUENT DAYS. AS A RESULT, "AN OBSERVATION" OFFERS A PLATFORM FOR VIEWERS TO ENGAGE WITH HIS RAW AND EVOLVING PROCESS OF VIDEO MAKING.
