Mitra Tabrizian’s photographic and film work is concerned with what we might call ‘the crisis of contemporary culture’ in both East and West. Born in Iran and educated in England, her journeys back and forth have allowed her to observe both cultures from an insider’s as well as outsider’s point of view. This has given her both a sense of engagement in and a sense of detachment from both cultures. Such a position allows her a detailed appreciation of the role of narrative and fantasy in cultural processes.
