SHIRIN NISHAT: WOMEN WITHOUT MEN AT NATIONAL MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART, ATHENS
|
|
Shirin Neshat's series 'Women without Men' is based on a banned book from 1989 by the Iranian author Shahrnush Parsipur. The novel is set in 1953, the year when the democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, vainly tried to avert a coup d'état mounted by American and British forces, whose task it was to reinstate the Shah. Neshat's work is composed of five video installations through which the artist narrates five stories of women who come from different social classes and who, through different paths, meet in a garden in the town of Karaj.
