The artist's first monographic exhibition in France, Hoda Afshar. Performing the Invisible presents The Fold, an unprecedented installation developed using photographs from the museum's collection. Shot by the psychiatrist Gaëtan de Clérambault in Morocco between 1918 and 1919, here, these images originally seen in a colonial context, are reinterpreted, deconstructed and reappropriated. Hoda Afshar reveals how photography, working for a dominant power, can shape - and conceal - the representation of bodies.
The exhibition's second installation, Speak the Wind is a visual essay based on the winds, beliefs and rituals of the islands of the Strait of Hormuz in southern Iran.
