Author: Neshat, Shirin
In her latest body of work, multimedia artist Shirin Neshat turns her focus to the American West. With more than 100 photographs, a two-channel video installation and a feature film, Neshat creates a multilayered look at contemporary America through the eyes of a fictionalised artist. Monumental black-and-white photographs are transformed through Neshat's use of Farsi text and hand-drawn images, which represent Neshat's interpretation of the dreams of the sitter.Neshat works and experiments with photography, video and film, imbuing them with highly poetic and politically charged images and narratives that question issues of power, religion, race, gender and the relationship between the past and present, occident and orient, individual and collective through the lens of her personal experiences as an Iranian woman living in exile.
ISBN 9781955161091. Radius Books/SITE Santa Fe. hb. 160 pages. 90 colour ills. 30 x 24 cm.
