In Me 1997-2000, the Iranian visual artist and performer Ghazel created a series of quirky self-portraits consisting of short filmed sequences interspersed with texts. With great economy of means, she filmed herself wearing a chador in areas of modern life and everyday situations, where the wearing of this garment sometimes creates absurdity. Mockingly evoking women’s condition in Iran, she also questions – with apparent light-heartedness – her own difficulty in moving between East and West, remaining somewhat “suspended between two worlds”.
