Neshat explores the dreams of three women through emotional narratives remaining on the border of dream and reality, and immerses the reader in the inner ethereal world of the main characters.
About this book
Iranian artist and film maker Shirin Neshat has been exploring the relationship between women, identity and Islam for more than 20 years. Dreamers is a pocket-sized artist’s book, based on the eponymous trilogy of black-and-white video installations. In them, Neshat explores the dreams of three women through emotional narratives remaining on the border of dream and reality. The tri-fold design solution allows readers to examine three narratives establishing a dynamic dialogue. The black-and-silver duotone printing references Neshat’s inspiration in Man Ray, and immerses the reader in the inner ethereal world of the main characters, a sensation that is deepened by the extreme darkness of ultra black paper.
