Fifi Howls from Happiness 2013 (6.833)

Bahman Mohassess was a celebrated artist at the time of the Shah. Trained in Italy, he created sculptures and paintings in his homeland. But audiences often took offence at the pronounced phalli on his mostly naked bronze figures and his work was regularly censored. All traces of him were lost after the revolution. It was said he destroyed his remaining paintings and disappeared.

Cyclothymia of a Land N/A

An original account of the 2015 Paris’ terror attack, Cyclothymia of a Land echoes the deep reasons of physical and psychological displacement. Emergencies, iniquity, propaganda, terrorism, war to terror, all inhabit an unusual journey into Tehran’s contemporary and precarious cityscape and an eerie and non-reassuring vegetation.
