'Nil, Nil #10'

“Nil, Nil #10” by Shadi Ghadirian of Tehran “presents a hand grenade in the middle of a fruit bowl; the objects in the bowl, associated with warfare and nourishment, are equated by size.”

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.

It is a sad commentary to see this as art even though we can all relate to it...
