Over the past three decades, contemporary Iranian artist Shirin Neshat has created politically-charged photography and film that explore the contrasts between Islam and the West, femininity and masculinity, public life and private life, and antiquity and modernity.
In an interview with Nick Knight as part of Photo London 2021, Neshat talks about film as a democratic art form, the differences between the worlds of art and fashion, and the importance of reaching an Iranian audience.
