Concerning different theoretical approaches in contemporary art, the following six areas are the topics of fourth annual festival of Portraiture:

  • Face formal structure from perspective of mathematics and aesthetic decryption of this form.
  • The value of identity and continuity perception of one’s identity in the course of development from childhood to adulthood.
  • Assimilation of contemporary human face and its analysis in terms of social and culture industry.
  • Face physical possibilities to communicate with congeners (face language).
  • The function of the word “face” and “head” from the perspective of semiotics in Iran’s literature in the form of image.
  • Dual position of face (near and far) – Differentiation and uniqueness (unity of faces in distance and their differentiation from close) – face’s form in interaction.
