U.S. based Iranian artist Shirin Neshat has created a rich video series delving into the complex lives of women in her homeland. Mixing magic, tragedy, history and politics, the videos explore five female characters from Shahrnush Parsipur’s magic-realist novel Women Without Men. As well as evoking some extraordinary tales of women, Neshat’s videos trace the contours of a crucial turning point in Iran’s recent past.
