Born in Iran and currently living in the US, the conflict between two very different cultural universes has become the germinative nucleus of Shirin Neshat's work. This book documents all of her activity, including her first black and white photographic work in which she gave voices to Iranian women by tracing onto their faces, hands, and naked feet the verses of ancient Persian poets. In the most recent video work, ancient Persian poetry is combined with music especially composed by Sussan Deyhim and Philip Glass.
