In a world where surveillance is routine, albeit without a sense of exactly who or what may be listening, Wiretaps for Oral eavesdrops its way into witnessing. Refusing to tidy the mess of contemporary Iranian life, without resorting to idealised diasporic narratives. Rather, it scavenges presence from within the flux: filtering signals from manifold sources—state TV sermons, grief‐stricken siblings, NHS influencers, domestic abuse helplines, jazz solos, and UFC callouts—each treated with an attentive sense of urgency. The scope is neither nostalgic nor extractive. I’m tempted to call it xeno‐epistemic sampling, or tapping into something palpable yet still pre-conscious; churning, in real time, without a need to rationalise or make itself sensible.
