In this series, and in other works tied to Body Art, Kazem uses diverse gestures and body motions as artistic elements. He thereby embodies his biography as a social discourse that articulates itself in very private actions and processes. He creates an interaction between his everyday life and his art.
In 1996, under the title "Autobiography", he presented a case of six shelves with exactly his own height. On the floors and interior walls of each shelf, he affixed photos of himself that show him imitating the awkward postures viewers have to take to see precisely these photos on the shelves.
