NEVER EVER
Reza Kianpour's project plays with the idea of attachment and our relationship: to a nationality, to an identity, to a culture, to a community, to a belief... In the manner of a performance, he stages his image in real size to give the illusion of clinging relentlessly to the pole. This visual game, which becomes more meaningful when the wind starts to blow, invites the audience to question the complex relationship between the individual and his sense of belonging.
Born in Tehran, Reza Kianpour arrived in Luxembourg at the age of nine. From 2003 to 2009, he studied visual arts at the École de Recherche Graphique and product design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels before starting his career as a designer in 2010. He divides his time between his graphic studio and his personal multidisciplinary projects. He is also involved in the cultural scene as a member of design and project selection committees.

In the context of the European Design Festival 2023, Cercle Cité in collaboration with Greylight Projects (Heerlen, NL) proposes an off-site exhibition What the Flag?! in Luxembourg.
The flags, works by invited Luxembourgish artists and designers, are mixed with existing artists’ flags, which are part of the archive of the What the Flag?! project. The artists and designers are invited to respond from their own work and vision of the medium “flag” within the context of the location in which they are shown.
The flags are placed between the central locations of the European Design Festival 2023 in the city of Luxembourg forming a route that the public can follow with the help of a map.
