Looking for Oum Kulthum (2019)

Shirin Neshat

Shirin Neshat displays the artworks from the eponymous series, a group of eight photographs and two videos. These artworks were created apart from the film, which relates the story of Mitra, an Iranian film director living in exile, who embarks on her dream project of making a film about the legendary Egyptian singer and diva Oum Kulthum. In a more dreamlike atmosphere, the two videos, Remembrance (2019) and In Trance (2019), offer us two emotional and sensitive visions of Oum Kulthum and of her mystical power on people.
