With the collaboration of Rokni Haerizadeh
There Goes The Neighbourhood’ is a collection of disparate figures at once typical, sincere and ironic. Fayyazi captures the odd diversity of life that proliferates on the streets of her native Tehran and infuses each character with the particular details that reveal a truer identity.

Trained in ceramics and keen to collaborate with other artists, Fayyazi subsequently turned to sculpture and installations, experimenting with public art, performance and video. She became known internationally in the 1990s for her witty, captivating installations of thousands of gigantic ceramic cockroaches.
In the summer of 2008, her ambitious installation ‘The Playground', comprising an oversized stuffed camel and an actual 2 horsepower Citroen car filled with toys – all covered in camouflage, was showcased to great acclaim in the exhibition ‘Orients sans Frontières' at the Espace Louis Vuitton in Paris. Most recently, her installation ‘Goli's Dowry' appeared in February 2009 in Thaddaeus Ropac gallery in their ‘Raad O Bargh' show in Paris .
