SHIRIN NESHAT. DO U DARE!

Inspired by the story of Nasim Aghdam, an Iranian-born media figure who profoundly influenced Neshat’s practice, Do U Dare!, curated by Ilaria Bernardi and Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, explores the connections between the two artists’ experiences. Filmed in three socioeconomic contexts in New York through the narrative of a subjectivity constructed in the digital world, the trilogy creates tension between interior and exterior dimensions and reality and illusion, articulating a gaze that intersects American society with the Iranian female perspective.
