… The sarcophagi too had to remain intact, but for the reasons that ephemerality was crucial to Chohreh Feyzdjou’s life and work (we should not neglect the fact that her most productive years were indeed her last years) and that the need to pass through matter was essential to her corpus of work, and that the corporeal aspect of art was not secondary to her art, and she eliminated traces of liveliness, and that in her work the process of death was the very process of metamorphosis, the grave marker is made to be a lingering alterable ephemeral one. That is to say, Concession Éphémère, is altering, becoming, lessening and dying down, yet gradually.
