Shirin Abedinirad, an artist from Iran, has installed mirrors on the vast desert and high-ceiling concrete buildings. The mirrors that reflect the sky are as blue as spring water, forming a romantic and illusory beauty.
Shirin Abedinirad, an artist who loves nature, used the reflective power of mirrors to erect many mirrors in the center of the desert in Isfahan due to the lack of water in the desert, bringing "water" into the desert.
The installation art installed in the desert is called "Evocation". At first glance, you see blue and clear lakes. After a while, you will find that these lakes are actually the sky - or to be precise, they are photos. Mirror reflecting the blue sky.
Through the mirage-like illusory scenery, Shirin Abedinirad hopes to change peoples established concepts and thus think about the relationship between the soul and nature.
Another installation art that also uses mirrors is located in Treviso, Italy, called "Heaven on Earth". The mirror reflecting the sky is neatly installed on the cement staircase.
When standing at the top of the stairs, the blue sky will unfold before your eyes. The refraction of mirrors and light makes the entire space more spiritual. When walking down the stairs, people will have the illusion of walking on the sky.
In addition to installation art, Shirin Abedinirad also performs video art, performance art and performance. In recent years, she has begun to create works on issues related to gender, sexuality, and peoples compassion in Iran. Shirin Abedinirad will continue her work in Florence and Tehran in the future.
