Shirin Neshat
Der Greif and Shirin Neshat put out an open call, inspired by the line „I am a common pain, scream me“ from Ahmad Shamlou‘s poem “Common Love”, printed on the inner cover of this issue.
1.500 artists and photographers from all over the world responded to this theme.
The result is a poetic and multifaceted visual narration through 86 images on 100 sensitively layouted pages.
