Turbulent by Shirin Neshat









I was lucky to view this audio-visual installation in person a few years ago. Shirin Neshat's piece literally 'moved' me (as we talked about in class). In any case, I think Neshat's work really examines the rhetorical role of place (and even audience) in protest. For the record, in the actual art installation, the man and women are set on huge screens on opposing walls of a small room. It's as if the man and woman are speaking with each other in a very intimate setting. Sussan Deyhim provides the song and vocals for this work--she's a true genius and her voice is transcendent :)
