Irani Bag
Maryam Tafakory, 2021, UK, IR, SG, digital, 8'
Using excerpts of films produced between 1990 and 2018, Irani Bag is a split-screen video essay deconstructing the depiction of a seemingly innocent object – the handbag – in order to propose a textual and political analysis of censorship and intimacy in post-revolution Iran. Irani Bag invites the spectator to reconsider the relationship between sight and touch.
