Women without Men

Women without Men is Shirin Neshat's independent film adaptation of Shahrnush Parsipur's magic realist novel. The story chronicles the intertwining lives of four Iranian women during the summer of 1953; a cataclysmic moment in Iranian history when an American led, British backed coup d'état brought down the democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, and reinstalled the Shah to power. Shirin Neshat's first feature film.

The hit of Summer 2010

The idea is brilliant : a scarf, a rubber sole et voila.... A pair of boots or a pair of canvas shoes. They are called  Russyvalenki and they are beautiful.

Meditation

I always had a fascination for temples. Here are some shots that I took in Chinatown.
