Shirin Neshat employs her signature calligraphy and photography combination in a new limited edition print based on one of her most important works.
Farsi calligraphy handwritten by the artist is applied as a separate silkscreen layer to an image of her feet, rendered on UV pigment by the printers at Make-Ready.
This edition sits within the conceptual period of Shirin's seminal Women of Allah (1993-1997) series, a body of work that unpacks the interconnected nature of women's bodies and political ideology.
