These <i>Negarehs</i> are selected from different ages of Persian paintings; and the faces of figures are deleted. There are parts of contemporary Iranian novels and stories substituted instead of the original texts. These replaced texts are somehow related to the Negarehs and in the other hand are connected to social history of Iran –during the artist's lifetime. The subject could be the war between Iran and Iraq, the riots in <i>Daneshgah</i> Street, serial murders of intellectuals in Iran and lots of other stories. Just like <i>"Purdahs of silence"</i> this series asks the audience to put themselves in the place of characters in the <i>Negarehs</i> by their own choice: the one who kills; and the one who is being murdered; the torturer and the tormented; the executer and the one who is being executed….</p><br /><br /><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9H1EzFS2xxc/S24MEUJh55I/AAAAAAAAAQ4/aCZkd45yLw8/s1600-h/011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435295068550457234" style="DISPLAY: block;
