[8] Mehrdad Oskouei performance art directorial debut at Shirin Gallery in Tehran, Nov. 2015 along with Sarvnaz Alambeigi as well as Atieh Atarzadeh and Loghman Khaledi.

Oskouei explains this performance as "...We have created an atmosphere where adults could imagine what laws they could have broken as children that would have sent them to a juvenile correction institute.

We created a minimal setting that resembled the detention facility, volunteers confessed, filled out forms and were given uniforms, they were weighed and measured and were quarantined.
