As an Iranian woman, Shirin Neshat’s startling photographs convey a power that is more than merely exotic. Veiled woman brandish guns in defiant stances, with Arabic calligraphy drawn upon the background of the photos. Though their non –Western iconography may at first disorienting the viewer, these pictures have a boldly stylised look that is utterly compelling. |
