In Between

IN BETWEEN (excerpt video)

A video installation and short film by Iranian-born artist Massih Parsaei, with original soundtrack composition and production by J3ZZ. An early collaborative work exploring the intersection of visual and sonic art.

Video Installation as Artistic Practice

IN BETWEEN represents work at the intersection of video installation, short film, and sound art — disciplines that were increasingly converging in the early 2010s. The project demonstrates Massih Parsaei’s commitment to creating immersive multimedia experiences that engage viewers on multiple sensory levels.

As a video installation, the work moves beyond traditional cinema — it occupies a space, demands physical presence, and creates an environment rather than simply telling a story. The format invites viewers into an aesthetic and conceptual space, where image, sound, and presence interact dynamically.

Sonic Dimension

J3ZZ’s compositional work for IN BETWEEN was integral to the piece’s overall impact. The original soundtrack was designed not as musical accompaniment but as a co-equal element — a sonic architecture that supports, complicates, and deepens the visual experience.

The collaboration between visual artist and sound composer represents a fundamental creative principle: that meaningful art emerges from the dialogue between disciplines, and that the strongest works engage multiple senses simultaneously.
