《I’m So Fucking Happy》 Farhad Moshiri

2010

Farhad Moshiri used about 1,200 small knives to insert on the white wall to form the clause of "I am so fucking happy", but the font is very round, which is in great contrast to the image of the knife. Constantly making people think, so is he happy or unhappy? This reminds me that when I was suffering from depression, I actually tried my best to hide my negative emotions. I don't want my negative emotions to affect others. I think this is selfish behavior and I think if someone has to be trapped by grief, it's me, just me.

Therefore, the material of this installation is very cold, small knives, but they are colored knives, just like hope and despair actually coexist. Which is extremely ironic and makes me think about whether it is really happy or fake How happy is it? Maybe it is forcing myself to be happy, and sticking all the knives into my body, it is obviously painful, but I pretend to be happy. If he is really happy, why not use gentle materials to express "I am so happy" instead Does the knife mean "I am so fucking happy"? This work makes me feel that the selection of materials in my work must be more rigorous, and it is best to cause reflection.
