Antifragility

Supported by Yassi Foundation

Performance/Installation by Neda Razavipour
In collaboration with Ab-Anbar Gallery

 In 2012 Neda Razavipour began a research-based series, the subject of long-term installations, performances and artworks, to engage more directly with the concept of Unstable Equilibrium, rhythm, repetition and solid composition are crucial.

She began with the work Oscillation (2014), a performance celebrating the beauty behind chaos.

The installation/performance Antifragility (2022) is the third part of this series. Over the course of three days, Neda Razavipour revealed her ideas on the dichotomy of chaos and order. The performance is a physical and metaphysical account of the cyclical return to order after a chaotic world of shattered crystals from a distant past.

Antifragility is a property of systems in which they increase in capability to thrive as a result of stressors, shocks, volatility, noise, mistakes, faults, attacks or failures. The concept was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book, Black Swan and Antifragile.
