Morehshin Allahyari Stages “Speculations on Capture” at Gazelli Art House
Morehshin Allahyari presents Speculations on Capture (2024, image) at the Gazelli Art House Project Space in London. In the 36-minute film (which debuted at the V&A in fall 2024), the Iranian-Kurdish artist critically contrasts CGI reconstructions and archival media of 13th-18th century Iranian and Pakistani astronomical instruments with their post-acquisition records in Western museums. The staging of the piece coincides with Allahyari commencing a two-month residency with the organization.
