Faezeh

2008
Shirin Neshat

35 mm film transferred on video, color
Duration : 13'42

In Faezeh, the film 's sheer visual beauty and dreamlike quality only underscore the violence of its subject. Taking refuge in the countryside after the trauma of being raped, a girl is haunted by a vision of a black-veiled woman, and finally goes mad. Inspired here by the novel "Women without men" by Shahrnush Parsipur, Neshat returns to one of the core themes of her work : Muslim women and their aspirations to freedom and independance in a deeply religious country.

Shirin Neshat, an Iranian artist living in the United States, explores the status of women in contemporary Islam, often through the lens of her own experience of exile.

Having left Iran in 1974 to study art, Neshat was deeply affected by the impact of the 1979 revolution on women during a visit back to the country in 1990. She began with photographic series (Unveiling, 1993; Women of Allah, 1994) in which veiled women are covered with enigmatic texts in Farsi calligraphy.

In 1997, her work shifted towards film with Turbulent, a two-screen installation that earned her the International Prize at the Venice Biennale in 1999. She repeated this format in Rapture (1999) and Fervor (2000). Since 2003, Neshat has been adapting Shahrnoush Parsipur’s censored novel Women Without Men, addressing social and sexual taboos through the intertwined stories of women.
