Neda Saeedi: Whispers (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9788867496587)

Innocent lambs, benevolent stained-glass windows, delicate plants: Saeedi's subversive and fragile installations expose the insidious lingering traces of a colonial worldview

Fragile, yet with a hint of unease, the glass sculptures of Iranian artist Neda Saeedi (born 1987) make use of motifs such as church windows, sheep and plant specimens to dig at subliminal colonial continuities across history. This debut monograph explores her intricate work almost exclusively through close-up views.
