Battle of Rostam and the Dragon in Bushehr connects a Shahnameh narrative and a design inspired by Farshchian’s work with sculpture in a marine setting. The case presents the artistic experience and the challenges of placing a cultural landmark in an unusual location.
The construction of the 8-meter-high statue of battle of Rostam and the dragon in Bushehr port in the Persian Gulf is one of the most important managerial experiences as the artistic director of the Zhivar Art House, which was installed in 2016.
The features of this sculpture are concreting the foundation of the sculpture at a distance of one tide in the sea (less than 8 hours) and installing the sculpture at a distance of 200 meters from the shore. This project along with other projects for the development of Bushehr and Persian Gulf art spaces, including urban decoration, permanent and temporary urban elements, was designed and implemented by the Urban Art Department of Saraaj Center for Creation and Development of Art Spaces, in 2016 for the order of Bushehr port’s urban Management.
