'Nil, Nil #11' by Shadi Ghadirian

“Nil, Nil #11” by Shadi Ghadirian of Tehran “shows a woman’s small beaded purse filled with accessories and makeup, both metallic – gold and silver – and brightly colored. Gold-colored bullets are also stuffed into this vessel of artifice and luxury.”

Unfortunately there were lots of reflections in almost all the pictures, which made them difficult to photograph, although non-flash photography was encouraged by the museum.

a well loaded purse...increasing affluence amid the threat of violence?...certainly thought provoking..
