Sheiva Rezvani
statement
ANYWHERE BUT HERE is a part of the Master's Thesis Work entitled, "In the Name of Science." It consists of a three-part portrait series recreating photos from an instruction manual from the 1920s for "Healthy Vibratory Massage." The original photos and instruction manual make no reference to the devices' intended sexual purposes and instead attempt to convince the consumer of the healthy and hygienic benefits of using their product (i.e. to treat "neuralgia headaches" "weak eyesight" and "deafness"). Artifacts and photoshoot location courtesy of the Museum of Sex.
