i don't have the inbuilt context to understand the work of shirin neshat in the way i do, for example, haring's or mapplethorpe's or tom of finland's, or warhol's or barney's or koons', or kier's or killer luka's or alex rose's. i can't look into it and see myself. but when my eyes meet with it, i'm like fuck, there's an artist.

mostly the titles of these i don't know
i believe the video stills are from 'rapture' 1999 and 'passage' 2001 but i'm not sure
