270 is a sound and video performance that refers to the asteroid named after the ancient goddess Anahita. To create this video, Asgary trained herself to memorize and perform her own song and music in reverse for the camera, without any visible instruments or microphones. Once complete, the recorded video is flipped around (so that reverse actions are now in forward motion), and the audio track is also in forward. This process and performance create a closed loop with herself, a conversation that seems to be of another time and space.
