Sheila Vand Instagram – THE FURY is an exhibition of new works by @shirin__neshat , which includes a double-channel video installation starring me. The exhibit is up until March 4th at @gladstone.gallery (515 West 24th Street, NYC) for anyone who wants to see it.
This video explores the psychological prison of trauma that many survivors of the Islamic Regime are unable to escape, even after they are released from captivity.
Shirin told me about this project back in 2021 and we filmed it in June 2022, a few months before the current revolution in Iran began. At the time, we had no idea what was about to unfold in our mother country and how closely it would relate to this work. This video, just like the brutality it portrays, precedes the current moment.
Someday very soon, Iran will be free of its deranged captors. The world will accept that they were played by a bunch of smirking terrorists in religious costumes. | Posted on 24/Feb/2023 04:53:12
