Project Misplaced: The Rise and Fall of Simon Ordoubadi - Houman Mortazavi - Hardcover

Project Misplaced presents the public life of a ficticious Iranian immigrant, Soleyman "Simon" Ordoubadi. In sarch of a new identity and a foothold in U.S. society, Ordoubadi seeks fame and fortune by imitating the commercial self-promotion he sees all around him. In a process that is sometimes poignant, sometimes comic, and always absurd, displacement leads into misplacement. The work of award-winning artist and designer Houman Mortazavi, Project Misplaced took shape as a series of newspaper advertisements, leaflets and posters published in the Iranian press in Los Angeles and posted throughout the city's Iranian neighborhood in 2003.Mortazavi, Houman is the author of 'Project Misplaced: The Rise and Fall of Simon Ordoubadi - Houman Mortazavi - Hardcover' with ISBN 9781595840004 and ISBN 1595840001.
