In the 1990s, Shirin Neshat's startling black-and-white videos of
Iranian women won enormous praise for their poetic reflections on
post-revolutionary life in her native country. Writing in the New
Yorker, Peter Schjeldahl called her multi-screen video meditations
on the culture of the chador in Islamic Iran "the first undoubtable
masterpieces of video installation." Over the next twenty-five
years Neshat's work has continued its passionate engagement with
ancient and recent Iranian history, extending its reach to the
universal experience of living in exile and the human impact of
political revolution. This book connects Neshat's early video and
photographic works-including haunting films such as Rapture, 1999
and Tooba, 2002-to her current projects which focus on the relation
of home to exile and dreams such as The Home of My Eyes, 2015, and
a new, never-before-seen project, Land of Dreams, 2019. It includes
numerous stills from her series, Dreamers, in which she documents
the lives of outsiders and exiles in the United States. This volume
also includes essays by prominent Iranian cultural figures as well
as an interview with the artist. Neshat has always been a voice for
those whose individual freedoms are under attack. With this
monograph, her audience will gain a deeper understanding of
Neshat's own emotional, psychological, and political identities,
and how they have helped her create compassionate portraits of the
fraught and delicate spaces between attachment and alienation.
