I have been in New York just five months but I have already had an
emotional attachment to this city. This January I was in Manhattan and was met
again with simple things like the simple smiling of people and that was
wonderful. In my time at Columbia University I had taken the road to learn
about this place by luck with no program and no information. The magical
buildings with incredible spiritual aura that was written by Pro Ecclesia Dei.
I stumbled into the library with great esthetic; it was a blessing and I had a
rare sensation of gentleness. I said hello to Homer, Aristotle, Plato and
Cicero. I sat down in the corner near the entry and for hours I had
conversation with the statute of Athena; this atmosphere moved me so much. My
broken health, my broken life and broken career, there were all the broken
pieces of my life - like a prayer for new life in the new city, in New York
City.

A woman’s little gripes, Hiva Panahi
Pleasant surprises may not be many but they
arrive as essential truths. They come to erase the traces of those weaklings who
blocked the flow of our lives. They come to give a potent end to the era of the
carnivores we happen to meet, who hurt us in the corners of our lives. Pleasant
surprises arise from pure logic, nesting in distant and nearby places.
They are slow to appear, but when they arrive they are light for the eyes.
Truly, in pure logos flourish the friendliest, most wise human thoughts. Truly logos is discovery. Beyond doubt the experience of truth is poetic, to fill space and time ....

Dr. Hiva Panahi in The documenta 14 Reader
The main book of documenta 14 takes the form of a reader, evoking the various meanings associated with the term. The documenta 14 Reader
explores—in essay, allegory, poem, historical legal document, and
hybrid literary other—the discursive and practical concerns of the
project, such as debt and gift, the coloniality of power, economies of
the exhibition, and languages (and other currencies) without remainder. A
critical anthology that reflects on history in order to better envision
the present and reconceptualize the future, the Reader
features both newly commissioned and foundational texts as well as image
portfolios that illustrate the expansive scope—at once temporal and
geographic—of historical artists and actors included in the documenta 14
project.

Τα δακρυσμένα μάτια ήταν της άνοιξης, Χίβα Παναχί
Τα δακρυσμένα μάτια ήταν της άνοιξης
Νυχτολαμπούν στο κήπο
Σκιάζουν τις ρίζες του μεγάλου ελάτου
Να ακούγεται το ποτάμι
Να σου λείπει η θάλασσα
Να σου λείπει η θάλασσα
Ανάβουν τα γιορτινά φώτα
Φέρνει ζάλη ο χαρούμενος κόσμος
Φέρνει ζάλη ο χαρούμενος κόσμος
Ενω μπερδεψαν τα δακρυσμενα ματια με καποιο πινακα
Τιμολογησε το καθε δακρυ στραμενη στην κατευθυνση του βορεια
Τι είναι να καταγεσαι απο τα αρχαια μαρμαρα
είναι της άνοιξης
Τα μνυμεια
Τιμολογησε το καθε δακρυ στραμενη στην κατευθυνση του βορεια
Τι είναι να καταγεσαι απο τα αρχαια μαρμαρα
είναι της άνοιξης
Τα μνυμεια

" A man from ashes"by Hiva Panahi
Dreams come from far away places
the stones, the birds and I take on new forms of life
dreams have their own road
and we live far away these days, like dreams
