Shirin Mohammad

Shirin Mohammad was born in 1992 in Tehran, Iran. Currently, she lives and works in between Berlin and Tehran. Mohammad’s multidisciplinary practice includes multimedia installation, film, and artistic research in archives. With a particular focus on the socio-political history of Iran, she brings together elements of documentary and fiction to examine the remnants of lost, ignored, and abandoned narratives. As a result, her work creates relations via site-specific multi-channel installations conceived as a spatial instrument for scrutinizing the issues pertinent to Iranian political history. She tries to embody the latent promises of strategic approaches to politics — mainly the muted archives of various social movements in Iran —to think through the history of the present and its attendant possibilities for various forms of transforming the future.
